INDEX Publications' ranking was made in the following order:
For books, the SENSE Ranking of Academic Publishers has been referred to;
For journal articles and book reviews published in academic journals ranking was based
on JCR first and if ranking was unavailable at JCR, ranking was based on SJR. In special
cases where ranking in the field of philosophy at SJR was more relevant than ranking in
JCR, reference to SJR has also been made. For articles appearing in medico-legal
journals, ranking was based on the list in the field Health, Medicine, Psychology and
Psychiatry according to Washington & Lee Law Journals Ranking. Citation numbers are
derived from google scholar.
