On November 22, 2022, Clarivate updated the Journal List. Although the impact factor is only updated once a year, the WOS database will be adjusted irregularly every month, and some journals will be removed or added after review.
In this update, 6 journals were dropped or ceased (Ceased) from the SCIE&SSCI journal database. Among the 6 journals that were dropped, 4 journals had information changes, and 1 journal changed its name and ISSN number, except In addition, there are 2 journals that have been excluded from the SCIE/SSCI database. The editor specially compiled the relevant journal information as follows, for reference only!

Several issues about the exclusion of SCI journals
Q1: After the journal is delisted, are the published papers still SCI? Are papers that have been accepted but not indexed still valid?
Articles published before the journal is delisted are still SCI, and can still be retrieved on the Web of Science, and those submitted after that will definitely not be counted. As for the articles that have been accepted for publication, you must know which issue of the journal the article will be retrieved after being rejected, and you need to consult the journal. In short, whether a published article is SCI or not depends on whether it can be retrieved on Web of Science.
Q2: How to identify journals that may be potentially excluded?
Any factor that has a substantial negative impact on a journal could result in a journal's potential delisting from SCI. For example, some journals have a high self-citation rate, a sudden increase in the number of publications, a high proportion of Chinese nationals, some OA journals charge expensive fees, are suspected of being predatory, and the publisher is not formal, etc. You may need to pay attention to these news information regularly .
Q3: After the journal is no longer included in SCI, what impact will it have on the awards and titles?
Generally speaking, if your paper is published in the SCI of the excluded journal, it is very likely that your paper cannot be indexed by the SCI database later, so you should first check whether the journal you published is still listed by SCI/EI/Scopus Wait for the database to be included, and then declare other achievements, which ones can be issued with a search certificate, and which ones are recognized by the unit. For details, you still need to ask the respective units and departments to check whether they meet the rating requirements.
How to check whether SCI/SSCI/EI is under inspection?
1. SCI/SSCI query
If it is SCI/SSCI/AHCI, you can go to the official website of Clarivate Analytics (WOS database is a product of the company):

2. EI query
If it is an EI journal, you can enter the official website of Elsevier Engineering Village and download the latest catalog list query:

Written at the end: The editor will update the catalog of SCI/SSCI journals synchronously every month, pay attention to the Princess "Eurasia Academic", and reply in the background to get the full version of the catalog~
Finally, the editor hopes that everyone's published papers can be successfully retrieved and successfully rated and promoted!
