The following library databases and other online resources are good sources for finding journals by topic or keywords. When searching Web of Science, Scopus, and other library databases, look for filters that display the journal (or source or publication) titles of the articles in your search results.
Covering 12,000+ scholarly journals, plus selected books and published conference proceedings in all academic disciplines.

The following library databases and other online resources publish annual reports of impact factor metrics, citation counts, and other measurements of a journal's impact within a discipline.
Journal Citation Reports (JCR) publishes the well-known metric, Journal Impact Factor (JIF). This is a number calculated based on citations to items in a given year, divided by the number of citable items from the two previous years. It is important to evaluate the JIF of a journal within its category in JCR, rather than against all journals in general.
Provides citation impact factors for 8,400+ scholarly and technical journals worldwide.
Scopus's CiteScore and Scimago's SJR use similar calculations but different date ranges. (Access Scopus CiteScore through the Scopus link above.)
Google Scholar Metrics publishes a number called the h5-index, which is the largest number h such that h articles in that publication were cited at least h times each over a five-year period.
Dimensions.ai cites Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) metrics along with other journal information, but it does not offer comparisons between journals in the same way as other resources listed here.
