New database — Journal Citation Report (JCR) Web
UTHSC faculty and students now have online access to JCR Web 2008 available in both Science and Social Sciences editions. JCR Web allows you to evaluate and compare journals (e.g., most frequently cited journals and highest impact journals in a field) using citation data drawn from over 7,500 scholarly and technical journals. The major purpose and use of JCR Web are to generate journal Impact Factors, a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year. Based on articles’ cited reference data, JCR Web ranks a journal in its subject categories. The journal ranking information also helps indentify its research importance and impact at the journal and category levels.

Library Streaming Server

These changes must occur before March 1 or connectivity to streaming video and Articulate presentations will be lost. Faculty and staff who have Blackboard links to the Library Streaming Server must make these changes and test the new links.
