Impact Factor
Scopus SC Imago ranks public administration journals by citations. Its SJR indicator measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, expressing how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is. The measure Cites per Doc. (2 years) measures the scientific impact of an average article published in the journal within two years of publication; it is computed using the same formula as Journal Impact Factor™ (Thomson Reuters). It also measures the impact within three years. In 2022, TIJ ranked 125th, Q3 worldwide with a SJR of 0.246 and an H-index of 18 among the top 177 public administration journals, the ones that met the Scimago criteria. In 2021, TIJ ranked 85th, Q3 (4 short of a Q2 rating) with a SJR of 0.371 and an H-index of 17 among the top 172 public administration journals. In 2019, TIJ ranked 97th, Q3 among the top 164 public administration journals. It received a two-year average of 0.33 (was 1.67) cites per article and total cites of 106, 5.6 per article within three years. Because TIJ publishes in a specialized field, it receives fewer citations than more general journals. Nonetheless, it publishes most of the material on public sector innovation worldwide.
