IEEE journals lead the field in the latest Journal Impact Factor™ and CiteScore™ rankings

IEEE continues to publish articles of the highest quality and impact according to the latest Journal Citation Reports™ from Clarivate Analytics and CiteScore™ metrics by Scopus as released in their latest reports (June 2024). The results demonstrate a collective and consistent high-level of performance across IEEE publications in a wide range of technologies in both open access and hybrid journals.

Some highlights from the report:

  • A wide range of IEEE publications are consistently listed among the most-cited journals in multiple technology categories of the JCR findings as measured by Journal Impact Factor (JIF):
    • 21 of the 25 top journals in Electrical & Electronic Engineering
    • 13 of the top 15 journals in Telecommunications
    • 5 of the top 10 journals in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence
    • 5 of the top 10 journals in Imaging Science
    • 4 of the top 5 journals in Automation and Control systems
    • IEEE journals ranked No. 1 in JIF in several categories including Automation and Control, Cybernetics, Imaging Science, Information Systems, Remote Sensing, and Telecommunications.
  • In the most recent CiteScore report by Scopus, multiple IEEE publications were consistently listed among the most-cited journals in multiple categories:
    • 10 of the top 20 journals in Electrical Engineering
    • 9 of the top 20 journals in Computer Networks and Communications
    • 8 of the top 20 journals in Computer Software
    • IEEE Journals ranked No. 1 in several categories including Electrical Engineering, General Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Computational Theory and Mathematics
  • In other bibliometric measurements, IEEE has 9 of the top 10 journals in Electrical Engineering by Eigenfactor® Score. IEEE Access, IEEE’s largest fully open access publication, is ranked as the No. 1 journal by Eigenfactor in Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications.
