Clarivate has prepared a Czech webinar that will take place on Thursday, June 25 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and will present the main news, changes in journal coverage, updates to key metrics and show how these changes are reflected in the evaluation of journals in individual disciplines.

Participants will gain a clearer idea of how to use JCR for informed decisions when choosing a journal, evaluating publication strategy and analytical work.

The webinar will focus on the practical interpretation of metrics such as Journal Impact Factor, Article Influence Score, quartiles and subject categories, including their correct context. It will also include best practices for the responsible use of metrics at the journal level – when metrics can be useful, what their limitations are, and why it is important to always assess a journal in a broader field and publication context.
