"JCR is still the only usable tool to rank thousands of scholarly and professional journals within their discipline or subdiscipline. For educated decisions about selecting and deselecting journals in college libraries, and gauging the prestige and influence of journals, it is a very good tool."

-- Peter Jacso, Peter's Digital Reference Shelf
