| Sumario: | The best-known method of assessing the quality of journals is Impact Factor. It is lesser known in academia that there are also other ways of evaluating academic publications. The present study ranks geography journals based on the following systems of international journal assessment: Jour-nal Citation Report (JCR-index), Eigenfactor, Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJ R-index), Hirsch-index, and Index Copernicus. Special attention is given to the performance of certain regions and countries. In addition to journal evaluation systems, the paper discusses information relevant to geography from Ulrichsweb and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), while also analyzing the discipline-specific GeoBase. The results of the empirical research indicate that some journals show outstanding achievement using one set of criteria, while others’ performance is considered more prominent with other criteria. Thus, working with a variety of evaluation systems provides a much more realistic and distinguishing assessment of the real value and quality of academic journals, and also of the performance of the authors publishing in these journals. |
