A pocos meses de que se publique el ranking definitivo, la actualización del número de citas ha alterado las posiciones de las publicaciones en JCR. Los datos provisionales del mes de abril muestran un aumento del factor de impacto de la mayoría de las revistas de la categoría de Comunicación de Web of Science.
En lo que a las revistas españolas se refiere, Comunicar pierde un puesto con respecto al mes de marzo situándose en la octava posición. No obstante, se mantiene entre las diez primeras publicaciones en el primer cuartil (Q1). Por su parte, El Profesional de la Información no ve alterada su posición (42) y se mantiene en el segundo cuartil (Q2).
Entre las publicaciones, hay que destacar la subida en la clasificación de Journal of Advertising del puesto 8 al 6. También International Communication sube tres posiciones y pasa del cuarto (Q4) al tercer cuartil (Q3). Por otro lado, Journal of Business and Technical Communication y Journal of Media Ethics bajan del Q3 al Q4.
Con lo ajustado de la clasificación, durante los próximos meses podrían producirse modificaciones en las posiciones conforme se vayan conociendo los datos definitivos.
