The Scientific Journal Impact Rating (SJIR) is a structured system for evaluating academic journals and assigning ratings from 1 to 10, reflecting scholarly quality, credibility, and impact. It combines quantitative metrics and qualitative assessment for a comprehensive evaluation.

Quality Factors & Weightage

Factor	Abbreviation	Weight
Originality Contribution	OC	50%
Scientific Quality Contribution	SQC	20%
Review Process Contribution	RPC	20%
Regularity & Stability	RSC	5%
Technical Editing Quality	TEQC	5%

Total Quality Contributing Factor (TQCF) = OC + SQC + RPC + RSC + TEQC

Key Assessment Areas

• Originality (50 points):
  Produces new knowledge, ideas, or innovations rather than reformulating existing information.
• Scientific Quality (20 points):
  Evaluates clarity, methodological rigor, and reproducibility of research.
• Peer Review (20 points):
  Measures integrity and thoroughness of the review process.
• Regularity & Stability (5 points):
  Consistency of publication schedules and journal longevity.
• Technical Editing (5 points):
  Checks formatting, tables, figures, references, typography, layout, and overall readability.

Articles Published Score (APS)

Articles Published	APS
0–99	0.01
100–199	0.05
2000–2099	0.81
2500+	1.00

SJIR Rating = TQCF × APS

Note: Plagiarism, late publishing, or irregular issues may result in negative points affecting the final score.

Additional Criteria

• Scientific Quality: Original papers percentage, indexing, total articles published.
• Internationalization: Language of content, international editorial board, global reviewer collaboration.
• Stability: Regularity and journal age.
• Technical Quality: DOI, online access, bibliographic tools.
• Standards: Peer review, originality statements, copyright/legal compliance.
• Editorial Quality: Uniform article structure, detailed author guidelines.
• Print & Website Quality: Visuals, tables, color printing, paper quality.

Recognition

• Journals rated by SJIR may display the SJIR logo and rating on their websites.
• This signals high-quality standards, credibility, and global scholarly impact to authors, readers, and institutions.
