Title: Bibliometric Rankings of Journals Based on the Thomson Reuters Citations Database 
Abstract: Virtually all rankings of journals are based on citations, including self citations by journals and individual academics. 
	The gold standard for bibliometric rankings based on citations data is the widely-used Thomson Reuters Web of Science (2014) 
	citations database, which publishes, among others, the celebrated Impact Factor. However, there are numerous bibliometric 
	measures, also known as research assessment measures, based on the Thomson Reuters citations database, but they do not all 
	seem to have been collected in a single source. The purpose of this paper is to present, define and compare the 16 most 
	well-known Thomson Reuters bibliometric measures in a single source. It is important that the existing bibliometric measures 
	be presented in any rankings papers as alternative bibliometric measures based on the Thomson Reuters citations database 
	can and do produce different rankings, as has been documented in a number of papers in the bibliometrics literature.
Classification-JEL: C18, C81, Y10.
Keywords: Research assessment measures, Impact factors, Bibliometric measures.
