Two new Jacsó reviews

In his Digital Reference Shelf for August, Péter Jacsó reviews these two resources:
  • Journal Citation Reports: The new content enhancements of the Web version of Journal Citation Reports and its informative charts provide further help in selecting the most influential journals in subject categories. They provide category-wide median and aggregate impact factors, an aggregate immediacy index and cited half-life scores, in addition to the journal-level performance indicators.
  • The London Review of Books: A small but worthy open-access subset of the thousands of substantial reviews and commentaries of "Europe's most-read literary magazine" with good browsing and searching capabilities. The topical coverage is pleasantly eclectic and the geographic coverage is cosmopolitan.
