Update from Web of Science

The Journal Citation Reports™ (JCR) is updated annually. Journals that are accepted into SCIE, SSCI, or ESCI before January 1st and that remain covered in one of these collections when JCR production is started in March are eligible to appear in the June release of the JCR data and receive a Web of Science Journal Citation Indicator (JCI). Previously, only SCIE and SSCI journals that met these requirements were also eligible to receive a Journal Impact Factor™ (JIF).

For this reason, from the June 2023 JCR release, all journals that meet these requirements, including the Journal of Eastern European and Central Asian Research as part of the ESCI database, are eligible to receive a Journal Impact Factor™ (JIF). More information is available here.
