The figures above are for 2014.
Quartile: Quartile 1 (Q1) journals are those ranked in the Top 25%. Q1 is the best, followed by Q2, Q3 and finally Q4, the lowest, according to the classification by SCIMAGO.
Total of Documents: the number of papers published in the previous year.
SCIE: Science Citation Index Expanded: scientific journals in the list managed by ISI (Institute for Scientific Information). According to the SJR website, there are about 360 SCIE journals related to Civil and Structural Engineering.
IF: Impact Factor: an index showing the average number of citations of the journal's papers over the 2 most recent years.
SJR: An index similar to the IF, calculated by SCIMAGO. However, citations are weighted by the prestige of the citing journal. For example, citations from the Journal of Structural Engineering - ASCE count for more than those from the Journal of Bridge Engineering - ASCE. In the author’s view, the SJR is a more accurate measure than the IF.
