    INDEX Publications' ranking was made in the following order:

    For books, the SENSE Ranking of Academic Publishers has been referred to;

    For journal articles and book reviews published in academic journals ranking was based

    on JCR first and if ranking was unavailable at JCR, ranking was based on SJR. In special

    cases where ranking in the field of philosophy at SJR was more relevant than ranking in

    JCR, reference to SJR has also been made. For articles appearing in medico-legal

    journals, ranking was based on the list in the field Health, Medicine, Psychology and

    Psychiatry according to Washington & Lee Law Journals Ranking. Citation numbers are

    derived from google scholar.
