- is weighted by the prestige of the journal, thereby 'leveling the playing field' among journals
- eliminates manipulation: raise the SJR ranking by being published in more reputable journals
- ‘shares’ a journal’s prestige equally over the total number of citations in that journal
- normalizes for differences in citation behavior between subject fields
- measures contextual citation impact by ‘normalizing’ citation values
- takes a research field’s citation frequency into account
- considers immediacy - how quickly a paper is likely to have an impact in a given field
- accounts for how well the field is covered by the underlying database
- calculates without use of a journal’s subject classification to avoid delimitation
- counters any potential for editorial manipulation
