We update journal profiles on a scheduled basis and clearly label each metric as either Provisional (Year in Progress) or Final (Year Complete).Update frequency

• Metrics are refreshed on a regular schedule (e.g., monthly or quarterly), depending on data availability and verification results.
• Each journal page shows the Last Updated timestamp.

Versioning

• We retain historical yearly values when available (e.g., Annual IF 2023, 2024, 2025).
• If a calculation method is improved, we document the change in a Methodology Update Log and apply it consistently.

Corrections & requests

• Journals may request a data review if:
  • ISSN/website details are incorrect
  • Publication counts are missing/duplicated
  • Articles are misclassified by document type
• Verified corrections are reflected in the next scheduled update (or sooner if the error is critical), and the journal profile will show the updated timestamp.
