Screenshot The IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) publication, IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society (TTS), has achieved a Clarivate Web of Science Journal Impact Factor of 5.9, placing the journal firmly in the Journal Citation Records (JCR) first quartile (Q1), ranking it in the top 5% of tracked publications in its field. It has also received a Scopus CiteScore of 10.5 which is exceptional in its field.
While metrics are never the goal, they can serve as one indication that the research published in a journal is being read, discussed, and cited by scholars around the world. For a journal established with an explicit mandate to bridge technical and non-technical domains, indexing in both Scopus and Web of Science represents more than symbolic recognition. These databases play a central role in research discovery, evaluation, and institutional benchmarking. Their inclusion confirms that IEEE TTS has reached a level of scholarly maturity, editorial robustness, and citation visibility expected of established international journals, while remaining true to its interdisciplinary mission.
These results reflect the collective efforts of the IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society’s authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and volunteers who have helped build a vibrant interdisciplinary community focused on the relationship between technology and society. We are proud of what this achievement represents- not the numbers themselves, but the impact, relevance, and quality of the scholarship behind them. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the journal’s continued growth and success.
