CAMPBELL, Calif., July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for
Information Display (SID) has announced that SID's flagship
publication, the Journal of the Society for Information Display
(JSID), now has an Impact Factor of 2.140, a substantial increase
from previous years. Market research firm
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), released the update as part of
its annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR)™.
The annual JCR release enables the research community to
evaluate the world's high-quality academic journals using a range
of indicators, descriptive data and visualizations. The reports are
used extensively by academic publishers across the globe to
evaluate the impact of their journals relative to their field and
promote them to the research community.
The JCR is based on 2020 data compiled from Clarivate's Web
of Science Core Collection™, the flagship collection of quality
journals, books and conference proceedings in the world's largest
publisher-neutral global citation database.
The structured data are curated by a
global team of experts at Clarivate, who continuously evaluate
and select the collections covered to ensure accuracy in
journal impact evaluations. These insights enable researchers,
publishers, editors, librarians and funders to explore the key
drivers of a journal's value for diverse audiences, making better
use of the wide body of data and metrics available in the JCR.
The IF is an index calculated
by Clarivate that reflects the yearly average number
of citations of articles published in the last two years
in a given journal. It's frequently used as
a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within
its field; journals with higher impact factor values are often
deemed to be more important, or carry more intrinsic prestige in
their respective fields, than those with lower values.
"As the most prestigious society in the display
industry, SID plays an important role in both academia and
business," said JSID Editor Jiun-Haw
Lee. "JSID has long been regarded as one of the most
prestigious educational display industry publications. Not only are
we proud that we were able to increase the score, but we will also
continue this effort to further publicize SID worldwide."
Several world-renowned individuals in the display industry
contributed papers for JSID. A few of these include: Fangwang
Gou, En-Lin
Hsiang, Guanjun
Tan, Yi-Fen Lan, Cheng-Yeh
Tsai, and Shin-Tson Wu.
"Without the hard work and commitment of all our authors, this
effort would have not been possible. The content submitted included
a unique array of topics anywhere from micro-LED displays to
industry details on LCDs and flexible quantum dot light-emitting
devices for targeted photomedical applications. Altogether, the
papers contained 52 citations. There was an increase in the IF
across the board, especially in the category of "Optics", where the
ranking went up from 32.47% (2019) to 46.97% (2020)," added
Lee.
