Dr. Nandita Quaderi Interview: Recent Changes to Journal Citation Reports Address Research Integrity Concerns

For nearly half a century, the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) have been “must reading” in universities around the world. In a recent conversation on CCC’s Velocity of Content podcast, Dr. Nandita Quaderi, senior vice president and the editor in chief for Web of Science at Clarivate, discusses recent changes to the JCR aimed at addressing growing concerns over research integrity related to the increase in both the quantity and sophistication of fraudulent behaviors. Specifically, the conversation delves into Journal Impact Factor (JIF), a global standard for measuring the influence and importance of scholarly journals. Published by Clarivate, this calculation is critical for authors when considering where to publish research as well as for librarians when deciding which publications to hold in collections.
