The SJR indicator is a free journal metric inspired by, and using an algorithm similar to, PageRank. The SJR indicator computation is carried out using an iterative algorithm that distributes prestige values among the journals until a steady-state solution is reached. The SJR algorithm begins by setting an identical amount of prestige to each ...

A mega journal (also mega-journal and megajournal) is a peer-reviewed academic open access journal designed to be much larger than a traditional journal by exercising low selectivity among accepted articles. It was pioneered by PLOS ONE. [1] [2] This "very lucrative publishing model" [2] was soon emulated by other publishers.
