Clarivate removed 128 Journals from Web of Science Core Collection in 2025

In 2025, Clarivate removed 128 research journals from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection.

These removals span across Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI), and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).

These changes are critical for researchers, authors, and institutions because the indexing status directly affects journal credibility, citation visibility, funding evaluations, and academic promotions.

Among the 128 removed journals, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) was the most affected, followed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).

Research articles published after de-listing will not be indexed in Web of Science.

Why were journals removed?

Clarivate regularly evaluates journals to ensure they meet its editorial quality, publishing standards, and ethical requirements. In 2025, journals were removed due to three main reasons: Editorial De-listing, Production De-listing, and Cease.

Editorial De-listing: Journals were re-evaluated and didn’t meet the quality criteria and hence were removed from the Web of Science Core Collection.

Production De-listing: Journals were removed from the Web of Science Core Collection due to the non-receipt of content from publishers.

Cease: Journals were ceased publication and hence no longer covered in the Core collection.
