Top 1% Journal 2025https://www.scopus.com/pages/ai?temporary-convo=false&conversationId=075ba998-a2ff-4f34-b1cf-21ed22d49c70To identify the top 1% journals in 2025, we can look at various metrics and rankings that are commonly used to evaluate journal quality and impact. These include the Impact Factor (IF), SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), and other bibliometric indicators.Key Metrics and RankingsImpact Factor (IF)The Impact Factor is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in a journal. For example, in the field of 'Nutrition and Dietetics', journals with an IF ≥ 6.0 were analyzed, showing significant citation counts and impact 1.SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)SJR ranks journals into four quartiles (Q1–Q4) based on their impact and quality. Journals in the top quartile (Q1) are considered to be of the highest quality. For instance, the SCImago Journal Rank database is used to evaluate journal prestige in various fields, such as environmental engineering and orthopedics 2 3 4.Journal Article Influence Index (JAII)The JAII is another metric used to evaluate the influence of academic journals. For example, the 2022 JAII was used to rank core journals in orthopedics and gastroenterology, highlighting the highest and lowest influence scores 5 6.Examples of High-Impact JournalsPreventing Chronic Disease (PCD)PCD saw a significant increase in its impact factor, reaching 4.354, and was ranked in the top 10% of more than 27,000 journals evaluated by Scimago in 2021 7.Top Intensive Care JournalsA bibliometric analysis of the top 10 intensive care journals with the highest 2022 Impact Factors showed a strong representation of high-impact research from high-income countries 8.Critical Care Nursing JournalsThe top critical care nursing journals, such as Intensive and Critical Care Nursing (ICCN) and Nursing in Critical Care (NICC), were analyzed for their top-cited papers, indicating significant contributions to the field 9.Trends and ObservationsGeographic and Publisher InfluenceWestern countries and private publishers dominate the top-tier journals in many fields. For example, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands house a significant proportion of top journals in environmental engineering 3.Gender DisparitiesDespite improvements, gender disparities in authorship persist in top medical research journals, with women underrepresented as first and senior authors 10.Open Access vs. Subscription ModelsOpen access articles tend to receive more citations compared to subscription-based articles, as seen in critical care nursing journals 9.ConclusionTo be considered in the top 1% of journals in 2025, a journal would likely need to have a high Impact Factor, be ranked in the top quartile (Q1) by SCImago, and demonstrate significant influence through metrics like the JAII. Journals such as PCD, top intensive care journals, and critical care nursing journals exemplify the characteristics of high-impact publications. Additionally, trends such as geographic dominance, gender disparities, and the impact of open access publishing are important factors influencing journal rankings and impact.

PhD Call for Applications SummaryAcademic Year 2025/2026 – 41st CycleDeadline: 6 June 2025Research Field: Professions and applied sciencesRead more at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/funding/phd-2025/26-data-scienceApplicationThe Call for Applications for the 2025/2026 PhD Programs is officially open. Applicants, regardless of their nationality, age and gender are invited to submit their applications. Applicants can find all essential information in the relevant paragraphs of this guide.Further information along with possible modifications to, requirements, submission procedures, available positions and/or scholarships, will be given, before the deadline, through the pages:• https://dottorati.uniroma2.it/corsi-di-dottorato_p10297.aspx• https://dottorati.uniroma2.it/corsi-di-dottorato_p10299.aspx AboutOutlineThe availability of huge volumes of data, basically characterized by the increasingly extensive and pervasive use of digital technologies, leads the ongoing revolution in many areas of social, economic and industrial reality, posing new challenges to the scientific and technological research in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and in several other disciplines, from Physics to Economics, from Medicine to Human Sciences. In this context, the accessibility and processing of large amounts of data, both in centralized and distributed systems, their usage in the design and implementation of complex decision-making models, favors the study and development of autonomous systems in different fields (from mission-critical applications to the studies of natural and social phenomena, the prediction of economical dynamics as well as the diagnostics and planning in medicine or in industrial robotics). The PhD in Data Science is aimed, in its markedly interdisciplinary nature, to train, at the highest level, experts able to conduct research to understand and master the mathematical, statistical and computer science methodologies of data analysis and processing as well as the underlying technologies supporting applications in a wide variety of of scientific, industrial, economic, medical and social contexts. The reasons for a new PhD program in Data Science are many and significant. First of all, the offer in Central Italy of a doctoral training on these topics is still quite limited, but at the same time it is confronted with an increasing demand for experts in Data Science. This training should be understood with a characterization focused on mathematical-computer science skills, then a strong scientific-technological vocation, properly integrated on established statistical, economic, social and linguistic principles, thus able to give answers to the dynamics of this area of expertise that is very accelerated and strongly interdisciplinary and culturally heterogeneous. The School of Doctorate represents the indispensable ground for a wide range of students of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Economics, Physics, Mathematics and not only, at our University of Tor Vergata. Today such students apply and succeed (according to various data sources) at other Schools. These students are attracted by initiatives in Data Science because in them is clear and dominant the role played by the computational knowledge, the strong scientific character of the educational objectives and the diversified potential applications: from Physics to Economics up to Social Sciences. It is interesting to note that many of the courses mentioned here, for example, the Master Degree Courses in Computer Science at the Department of Business Engineering, which have a large number of students, unlike other courses are not decreasing in number of enrolled students. This phenomenon is both cause and effect of the centrality that the themes of culture and digital transformation play in the industrial and social spheres of our country.See PHD IN DATA SCIENCE | TOR VERGATA

Engage in knowledge exchange with European and global partners Date: Friday, 25 April 2025 Time: 2.00pm to 3.30pm (JKK/BKK) Please Register hereFor more information please contact: E-READI, simon.grimley@gmail.com / rentzowvasu@gmail.com Marie Sklodowska-Curie Staff Exchanges (MSCA SE) provide funding for international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of R&I staff, leading to knowledge transfer between participating organisations. The aim is to develop sustainable collaborative projects between different organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors, based in Europe and the world. Exchanged staff benefit from new knowledge, skills and career development perspectives, while participating organisations increase their research and innovation capacities. Mobility through funded secondments The grant funds the mobility of seconded staff members from one month to one year. Staff involved should return to their sending organisations after the secondment, to pass on their knowledge. Open to ASEAN research entities Staff Exchanges are open to international consortia of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other non-academic organisations. Legal entities in any of the ten ASEAN member countries – universities, research centres, companies, NGOs etc. – are eligible to join a MSCA Staff Exchange consortium. Learn more about this opportunity now The next call for application is due to open on 27 March 2025 with a deadline of 8 October 2025.
