The list of 101 corejournals can be found at: https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/Search-Journal. Among them, the highest 2022 JAII is 48.014 and the lowest is 3.900. Thisarticle highlights the top 20 journals, describes the calculation method for the 2022JAII, the evaluation process, and the inclusion principles for journals in the RCA.These steps are the underpinning of the RCA’s empirical journal academicevaluation service by which the digital platform addresses the needs of authors toselect reliable journals for submission, readers to select high-quality literature forreading, and editors to track their own journal citation performance. As such, theRCA core journal list will serve as a useful Find-a-Journal tool. Any interestedparty is welcome to use this journal list and recommend it to their peers.展开更多

Firstly, we collected 7 citation indicators and 17 Altmetrics indicators as the initial indicator of journal evaluation. Then we used correlation analysis, reliability and validity analysis, principal component analysis to determine the core evaluation indicators and used the weighted grey correlation method to calculate academic impact(F;) and social impact(F;). On this basis, build a journal evaluation model, the Traditional and Altmetrics model. Finally,we conducted an empirical study using 74 SSCI geography journals. The study results show that F;and F;have differences in the evaluation of journal influence. The TA model has good stability in journal evaluation, and the journal partition effect of the model is similar to JCR. The TA model integrates F;and F;dimensions to evaluate journal influence, which provides a new idea for evaluating academic journal influence.展开更多
