Evaluate Impact Factor for e-Journals Each year, the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports® (JCR) examines the impact of academic journals by determining how often journal articles are cited by later research. The 2013 study, released in July 2014, shows that IEEE publications continually rank at the top in citations on technology.

19 of the top 20 journals in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

18 of the top 20 journals in Telecommunications

7 of the top 10 journals in Automation & Control Systems

6 of the top 10 journals in Computer Science, Hardware & Architecture

4 of the top 5 journals in Cybernetics

3 of the top 5 journals in Artificial Intelligence

2 of the top 5 journals in Robotics
