• eigenfactor - provides eigenfactor scores for journals based on jifs and article influence scores; this system sums all scores to 100 and provides an individual journal score that measures its influence 
• snip (source normalized impact per paper) - one of several indicators provided by leiden university;  snip takes into account differences in citation practice between disciplines and also provides a stability index to show how the indicator varies over time for a specific title.  based on data from scopus.
