7.2 Additional Notes ** Notes about the data entered ** This journal was started in December 2010 and is not yet in JCR. However, the journal web site says: ”Now accepted for coverage in Thomson Reports’ & Science Citation Index Ex- panded. expected summer 2016.” It is also not included in Microsoft Academic Search. It is listed by Arnetminer, but I couldn’t find it in any subcategory. Therefore the rank I have given is for ”All” journals. The first comparator journal (IJSWIS) has an immediacy index of 0.000. The form displays this as 0E-10. IJSWIS could not be found in Google Scholar Citations. ** Comparator journals ** There are only two A-ranked journals in the ERA 2010 list for FoR 0804, and only one of these is relevant to the semantic web field (the other is a database journal). Thus I have chosen one B journal and one A journal as comparator journals. I believe the Semantic Web ranks between the two, and I think it has grown in strength since its start in 2010 to reach A status. The A journal (IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering) had its first issue in 1989 (compared to Dec. 2010 for Semantic Web) and has 222 papers a year (compared to 27 for Semantic Web), which makes the journals’ h indices incomparable. However, despite its much lower publication rate (less than 1/15 the number of papers per year), Semantic Web’s SCImago h5 index of 29 comes close to IEEE TKDE’s 32. The B journal (IJSWIS) has a lower SJR quartile (Q2) than Semantic Web (Q1) in the category of Computer Networks and Communications, and a lower number of cites/doc (1.93 vs. 3.18). However it has a higher Scopus h index (23 vs. 15). On the other hand, Semantic Web has a higher h5 index in Arnetminer than IJSWIS (25 vs. 9) - IJSWIS shows up under Database and Data Mining, but not under ”All”. There were no other metrics for which data was available for both journals. ** Other evidence of quality ** From http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/semantic-web-journal-ranked-among-top-2-web-topic : ”The Semantic Web journal is listed on Google Scholar’s Top 20 publications matching Web [ https: //scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=Web ] . The page lists both jour- nals and conferences, and the Semantic Web journal is ranked 6th according to the h5-index, and ranked

4 2nd if only journals are considered. It is ranked 4th according to the h5-median [57], and ranked 1st if only journals are considered. We are particularly proud about this result because the data includes papers from 2010, and our first issue actually appeared in December 2010, i.e. effectively we had a year less to accumulate citations.” Semantic Web’s 2014 SCImago rankings based on the SJR metric are as follows: Quartile 1 and 11th rank for category Computer Networks and Communications [ higher than ERA2010 A-rated journals IEEE Intelligent Systems (13th), Future Generation Computer Systems (20th) ] Quartile 1 and 23rd rank for category Computer Science Applications [ higher than ERA2010 A*-rated journals Computational Linguistics (27th) and Journal of Management Information Systems (30th) ] Quartile 1 and 20th rank for category Information Systems [ higher than ERA2010 A*-ranked journals Decision Support Systems (21st), VLDB Journal (22nd) and Information Systems (29th)] It was ranked 68th amongst all Computer Science journals by SJR in 2014 - ahead of Decision Support Systems (69) and VLDB Journal (72), and the other journals listed above. It was 33rd by SJR for Computer Science journals in 2013.
