According to the latest edition of the Journal Citation Reports, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics was ranked one of the top-10 computer science/software engineering titles. Its impact factor rose to 2.445 in 2008, up from 1.6 in 2007.

Published by Thomson Reuters, the Journal Citation Reports metrics have come to define journal performance across disciplines and institutions worldwide. JCR presents qualitative data that provide an objective way to evaluate the world’s leading journals and their impact and influence in the global research community. By compiling articles’ cited references, JCR helps to measure research influence and impact at the journal and category levels, and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals.

The bimonthly TVCG publishes research on subjects related to computer graphics and visualization techniques, systems, software, hardware, and user interface issues.
