  • Subscription of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Journal Ranking

The WKU Library has subscribed to the 2023 CAS Journal Ranking from the National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Currently, the CAS Journal Ranking includes 21 major subject categories, providing the reference for the impact and evaluation of academic journals.

 

Please be aware that using the CAS Journal Ranking data for personal evaluation needs to be treated with caution. The CAS Journal Ranking is based on the data describing the academic influence of journals and is provided for research personnel to understand the academic impact of journals in their field and as a reference for journal evaluation. At the same time, the CAS Journal Ranking does not include qualitative evaluations of journals from scientists, but only the results of quantitative data analysis and processing.

 

Note: The CAS Journal Ranking is only accessible to the WKU patrons and should not be disclosed or made public to non-university personnel in any way. Otherwise, both the university and individuals will bear corresponding responsibilities.
