Identifying journals with high impact

There are various tools that you can use to identify journals with high impact within a specific subject field:

Journal Citation Reports This link opens in a new window
Allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from approximately 12,000 scholarly and technical journals and conference proceedings.

Try the below subject categories:

Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence
Computer Science, Information Systems
Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications
Mathematical and Computational Biology
Social Sciences, Mathematical Methods
etc.

Eigenfactor.org
- Free

Using the same dataset as "Journal Citation Reports" (JCR), the Eigenfactor metrics try to overcome some problems inherent to the JCR Impact Factor:

Citation data are gathered for 5 years
Self-citations are removed
Quality of the citing journals is considered
Differences in citation patterns among disciplines are adjusted

SCImago Journal Rankings This link opens in a new window

Subject Area: Computer Science

Contains SJR values derived from the citation data in the Scopus Database
Journal list can be generated for a subject category. High impact journals indexed in Scopus can be identified by sorting journals' SJR
Also contains country ranking data
