JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies’ ranking will appear in the October 2025 update Journal Citation Reports (JCR) from Clarivate. Due to technical delays in indexing on Clarivate’s side, some content was missing from the Web of Science at the time of JCR data extraction.
Clarivate has since received all the missing articles that were required to calculate the Journal Impact Factor. Projected metrics for the journal are posted on the Help page and can be considered official.
