The Clarivate Analytics Impact Factor
A = total cites in 1992
B = 1992 cites to articles published in 1990-91 (this is a subset of A)
C = number of articles published in 1990-91
D = B/C = 1992 impact factor
The SNIP was created by Professor Henk Moed at CTWS, University of Leiden. It stands for Source-Normalized Impact per Paper and it measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a given subject field. The impact of a single citation is given a higher value in subject ares where citations are less likely, an vice versa.

The SCImage Journal Rank (SJR) was developed by Professor Felix de Moya and it is a prestige metric based on the idea that "all citations are not created equal". With SJR the subject field, quality and reputation of the journal has an impact on the value of a citation. A citation from a source with a relatively high SJR counts as more than a citation from a source with a lower SJR.
SJR calculation
average # of weighted citations received in a year
÷
# of documents published in previous 3 years
