Due to the fact that SNIP and SJR are calculated from Scopus, SNIP and SJR values cannot be fixed in time. Scopus is dynamic: it shows citations per document in real time and is continuously updating historical content, in addition to new content as it comes out. As a consequence, when the values are published, they will take all the historical updates into account as well. This means that with each data refresh, all values (current year and backwards) are recalculated and refreshed. This is good if you want up-to-the-minute values, but can make it difficult to validate quoted values.

We believe that it is more transparent to make sure that the values reflect the current state of the database, but also realize you may have reported values based on a previous metrics set. To ensure that these can always be validated, we maintaining historical datasets in this archive.
