Publication in quality journals has long been a criterion for measuring academic performance. For some time the primary tools for assessing "journal quality" have been the ISI Journal Citation Reports and the Journal Impact Factor (JIFs). The paper describes a new tool, the Journal Evaluation Tool (JET), that may overcome some problems associated with the sole use of the JIFs and may be utilised as an alternative measure of journal quality.
