What are the Limitations of Journal Citation Reports?
While JCR provides valuable data, it is not without limitations. The Impact Factor can sometimes be skewed by a few highly cited articles, and it may not fully capture the impact of research in niche areas of Histology. Additionally, citation practices vary across disciplines, and newer journals may be at a disadvantage. Therefore, it is essential to consider a range of metrics and qualitative factors when assessing journal quality.
