3. Journal Citation Reports (JCR)3

4. What is Journal Impact Factor?
Journal Impact Factor is a simple statistics intended to reflect the “impact” of a journal. Basically it indicates the average number of times an article published in the particular journal during the past two years was being cited.
Journal Impact Factor is based on the Journal Citation Reports which is updated on annual basis.

5. Journal Citation Reports
"Journal Citation Reports® offers a systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world's leading journals, with quantifiable, statistical information based on citation data. By compiling articles' cited references, JCR Web helps to measure research influence and impact at the journal and category levels, and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals. Available in “Science” and “Social Sciences” editions. "
JCR is part of based on citation data from the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index. In the past, SCI, SSCI and JCR were the only tools providing verifiable measurement tools of journal impact based on citation statistics. Therefore they have been and still are the most widely recognized journal ranking / measuring tools.

7. Finding a Journal in JCR
HKIEd has JCR

In this workshop, we shall focus on the meaning of Impact Factor, which has been the most widely used JCR indicator for journal ranking.

11. Below is only a simplified explanation of the metrics
Below is only a simplified explanation of the metrics. For definitions and details, click the help in the JCR journal report pages
Total Cites
Total number of citations for this journal in the JCR year
Impact Factor
On average, how many times an article in this journal is being cited – based on articles published in the two previous years
5-Year Impact Factor
On average, how many times an article in this journal is being cited – based on articles published in the five previous years
Immediacy Index
On average, how many times an article in this journal is being cited in the same year – based on last year's data (reflects more about the nature of the subject than journal quality)
Cited Half-Life
Indicates how far back the older articles in this journal are still being cited (reflects more about the nature of the subject than journal quality)

12. Below is only a simplified explanation of the metrics
Below is only a simplified explanation of the metrics. For definitions and details, click the help in the JCR journal report pages
Citing Half-Life
Indicates how recent or how old the bibliography referred by articles in this journal are (reflects more about the nature of the subject than journal quality)
Eigenfactor Score
The Eigenfactor Score is some kinds of enhanced 5-year impact factor – by giving higher score for getting cited in more influential journals and eliminates self-citation
Article Influence Score
The Article Influence Score is derived from the Eigenfactor Score based on matching the share of the journal's influence against the share of the journal's share of articles. The neutral influence score is 1.00 – thus a journal with article influence score greater than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal has above-average influence and vice versa

13. Impact Factor Calculation

14. No. of items published in 2011 or 2012
Working Example: Impact Factor of Early Childhood Research Quarterly (JCR SSC 2013) = 2.058
Impact Factor =
No. of Cites to 2011 or 2012 items in 2013
No. of items published in 2011 or 2012

15. Impact Factor Trend of a Journal

17. Journal Ranking by Impact Factor by JCR Subject Category

18. Journal Ranking by Impact Factor by JCR Subject Category
By default, journals are ranked by its current impact factor by subject
NOTE:
A journal can belong to more than one subject category; and therefore it is possible for a journal to have different ranks

83. Citing Sources of Information: APA Style83

84. Citing References
Allows you to use other people’s work by giving credit to the original author without plagiarizing
Provides documentation for all facts and figures that are not common knowledge
Strengthens your work by lending outside support to your arguments
Provides the source information for others who wants to find out more about your ideas
Accurately prepared references help establish your credibility as a careful researcher
Out of order/incomplete citations cause inaccurate citation network indexing

85. What’s the difference between reference list and bibliography?
A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper, listed alphabetically by author’s surname.
A bibliography may include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an annotated description of each one.
Bibliographies may be organized chronologically, or by subject, rather than alphabetically.

88. Citation System of HKIEd
For more details of the requirement of citation system of HKIEd, please refer to chapter 14 of the Student Handbook:

89. APA Style http://www.apastyle.org
Developed by the American Psychological Association
Widely used in Psychology & Social Sciences journals
Latest edition (6th ed.) released in July 2009
Manuscripts submitted to APA journals must conform to the 6th edition
Students and staff of HKIEd are required to use APA style for their reference list or bibliography, unless otherwise stated

90. Library Resources of APA Style (6th ed.)

92. APA Style: Citing References in Text
References are cited in text with author-date system and listed alphabetically in the reference list
Each entry in the reference list must be cited in text
Each reference cited in text must appear in the reference list with the exception of the follow two kinds of works:
Classical works: Bible, Qu’ran, Dao De Jing, etc.
e.g. (2 Cor. 5:17 New International Version)
(Qur’an 5:3-4)
Personal communications (non-recoverable data)
e.g. B. H. Philips (personal communication, May 11, 2001)
Example

93. Citing Works by One Author
Two common formats to reference citations in text:
Citation is integrated into the text: “If the name of the author appears as part of the narrative…cite only the year of publication in parentheses” (APA, 2010, p.174).
Salvia (2007) considered inclusive education as…
Citation is placed in parentheses: If the author’s name is not included in the narrative, cite “both the name and the year separated by a comma, in parentheses” (APA, 2010, p.174).
In a recent study of inclusive education (Salvia, 2007)…

94. Citing Works by Multiple Authors
Cite both authors every time
Smith and Johnson (1998) found that the system …
The findings confirmed with previous study (Smith & Johnson, 1998)
3-5 Authors
First citation:
Cheung, Li, Searle, Chan, and Frazer (1996) reviewed the theory of …
Subsequent citations:
Cheung et al. (1996) further developed a measuring system …
6 or more Authors
Use et al. (not italicized) for the first and subsequent citations
Kohn et al. (2007) suggested the possible causes …

95. Writing Style
DO NOT use periods with web addresses in text or in the reference list
In text: include URL in parentheses, avoid ending a sentence with a URL
Example:
The APA ( has updated the rules of publication style in July 2009, with expanded discussions on ethics …
Horton, M. (2009, September 9). H1N1 prevention tips by Dr. Mark Horton [Video file]. Retrieved from

96. Page Numbers
When paraphrasing, APA style does not require page numbers in the in-text citation.
According to Section 6.03 of Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, for direct quotation of sources, you have to provide the author, year, and specific page citation or paragraph number for nonpaginated material respectively in the text.
Example This idea was recently explored by Palladino and Wade (2010). They noted that "a flexible mind is a healthy mind" (Palladino & Wade, 2010, p. 147).

97. Direct Quotation
Quotations fewer than 40 words - quotation is integrated into the text with double quotation marks.
Quotations more than 40 words Display it in a freestanding block of text and omit the quotation marks 2. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the page or paragraph number in parentheses after the final punctuation mark 3. Indent the block about a half inch from the left margin (in the same position as a new paragraph)

98. Footnotes
When using APA style, you need not use footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of your paper for reference citation.
According to Section 2.12 of Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, use of footnotes serve two functions:
To provide additional content;
To acknowledge copyright permission status.

99. Reference List Arrange by authors in Alphanumerical Order
Each reference cited in text must appear in the reference list (except for classical works and personal communications)
Each entry in the reference list must be cited in text
