At present, JICC is not indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, and therefore does not have an official Journal Impact Factor (JIF) or Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) assigned by Clarivate.
6. Google Scholar Metrics
JICC is indexed in Google Scholar at the article level. However, Google Scholar does not currently display a separate, consolidated Google Scholar Metrics entry (with h5-index and h5-median) for JICC alone. As a result, the following values are marked as not available.
Article-level citation counts for individual papers can still be viewed directly in Google Scholar search results.
