SJR is developed by the Scimago Lab, [5] originated from a research group at the University of Granada. The SJR indicator is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network theory. Such measures establish the importance of a node in a network based on the principle that connections to high-scoring nodes contribute more to the ...
