Journal Rankings, Citation Tracking and Management

Due to the high cost of the subscription and budget limitations, the Nimitz Library canceled its subscription to Web of Science on December 31, 2015.  Several area institutions subscribe to Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and offer  non-affiliated users access to their databases from within their libraries. It is a good idea to call ahead to make sure their subscriptions are active.
