How Does the Eigenfactor Score Compare to Other Metrics?
While the Impact Factor is the most well-known metric, it has limitations, such as being influenced by a small number of highly cited papers and not accounting for the quality of the citing journals. The Eigenfactor Score addresses these limitations by considering the entire citation network, making it a more robust measure. Additionally, the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is another metric that uses a similar approach to the Eigenfactor Score but is based on the Scopus database rather than JCR.
