Journal Citation Reports (JCR)

JCR can show you:

Ulrich's Periodicals Directory

This directory provides helpful information on all periodical types (ie. journals, magazines, and newsletters). For example, you can find which databases a journal is indexed or abstracted in to determine the reach and accessibility of articles published in a journal. You can also discover circulation information, if a journal is peer-reviewed (or “refereed”), the year a journal was first published, and the frequency of its publication schedule.
