The 2026 release of Journal Citation Reports

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) has released the 2025 JCR data with two key highlights:

1. Gold OA journals increased by 6% to 6,703. Growth was seen across countries and regions worldwide, including a 23% increase in Gold OA journals from Mainland China. Top categories for Gold OA journals include Education & Educational Research; Public, Environmental & Occupational Health; and Medicine, General & Internal.
2. Each year, a small number of journals have missing denominator content in Web of Science, preventing JCR metrics from being calculated accurately. Previously, these titles were listed separately in the Help file as ‘Forthcoming’ for the JCR reload later in the year. Now, they are directly visible within JCR and clearly labelled as “Forthcoming”. This update improves transparency by providing users with more context when evaluating or comparing journals.

Notice: Journals Suppressed from 2025 JCR Data (2026 release)
