Any research database with citation counts can create research metrics data for journals or individual researchers. When using this data it is important to remember that:
No source is comprehensive
Databases only provide analysis of the journals that are indexed in their database
Many journals do not have an impact factor
Citation counts are primarily for journal articles and the journals in which they are published.
Journal impact factors can be manipulated
English language publications may be favoured
