JCI vs JIF - [Note: Use Journal Citation Reports to find JCI]
Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) - In June, 2021, JCI was published. JCI "represents the latest development in the long evolution of the JCR – a continuum that has recently seen the addition of Open Access data, Early Access content and more. Read the full white paper for a detailed discussion of the Journal Citation Indicator, its calculation and its implications"

Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities / Cabells Metrix: Cabells Classification Index / Cabells Altmetric Report
What is the CCI? According to Cabell, "The Cabell's Classification Index is a journal ranking system based on subject. Each subject in a journal has its own percentage score built with citation data. The CCI shows how much influence a journal has in your field of study." In other words, if Journal A and Journal B both cover a particular subject but Journal A ranks higher in CCI scores, then Journal A has greater impact on that particular subject area based on the citation data.
Scimago Journal and Country Rank
includes journals and country scientific indicators from Scopus. These indicators can be used to assess and analyze scientific domains. Data back to 1996 (Scopus).
Eigenfactor
shows ratings of the total importance of a scientific journal
EF -- Eigenfactor score measures the importance of a journal to the scientific community, by considering the origin of the incoming citations, and is thought to reflect how frequently an average researcher would access content from that journal
AI -- Article Influence score measures the average influence of articles in the journal, and is therefore comparable to the ISI impact factor. <>
Scopus
Scopus covers journals in science, social sciences, humanities and medical fields. To determine the SJR of a journal: Scopus > JOURNAL ANALYSER > enter a journal name> see its SJR, SNIP, CITATION .Note, we do not have access to Scopus

Altmetric Attention Score (ALT) / Linked with Grants, Patents, Clinical Trials

Altmetric Explorer
to monitor the online activity surrounding academic research. Browse by author, group, or department for your own institution, benchmark against peer organizations, report on the outcomes of outreach activity, and integrate the insights the data provides into evaluation and review processes.

Example - John smith: his total mentions, output with attention, outputs tracked, mentioned by social media /news /patents..., his top journals, top affiliations, top subject areas and more...

Dimensions (linked with Altmetric) - is the database that "links publications and citations with grants, patents, clinical trials, datasets, and policy papers" and more .
