Rivista di Studi sulla Sostenibilita

The REVIEW OF STUDIES ON SUSTAINABILITY stems from an initiative of the Simone Cesaretti Foundation and intends to be a means of deepening scientific knowledge on the issues of sustainable development, analyzed in its various dimensions: environmental, economic, territorial, social and generational. To this end, the Review is distinguished by its interdisciplinary nature and is not intended to serve only the Italian public, but it is proposed to contribute to the international debate on sustainable human development. The review, therefore, hosts papers of Italian and foreign scholars in order to stimulate debate on these issues, develop an exchange of knowledge and experience in research and facilitate the integration of multidisciplinary expertise. The Review of Studies on Sustainability applies to become a reference point for different types of recipients, including: social scientists, philosophy, law, economics, psychology, politicians, entrepreneurs, decision makers and leaders and, more generally, anyone interested in the fundamental problems of our time. Contributions may cover invited papers and communications, reviews and interviews. Moreover a special section, called forum, will host contributions in foreign languages.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
