If you need to learn the JIF (Journal Impact Factor) or ranking of a journal, Journal Citation Reports (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=https://jcr.clarivate.com) is the place to start. If you can't find information about the journal you are interested in, contact your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) or the Research Impact Librarian, Andrea Hebert (https://lib.lsu.edu/staff#index.phpandreahebert) .
