Title Suppressions significant distortion of the Journal Impact Factor Transparency and Accountability In the interest of fairness and accuracy for all journals, the distortion of the Journal Impact Factor by an excessive concentration of citations gives rise to the need for suppression. Titles are suppressed from JCR based on analysis of the last year of citation data and are reevaluated annually.
