Clarivate Master Journal List 2025 (November Update) – Complete Guide & Latest Changes

The Clarivate Master Journal List 2025 (MJL) remains one of the most trusted references for confirming whether a journal is indexed in Web of Science, including SCI, SSCI, and ESCI. With the November 2025 update, many researchers are looking for the most recent changes, newly added journals, and accurate indexing information.

If you have access to Web of Science, you can download the official Master Journal List directly from webofscience.com → Master Journal List – Collection List Downloads. However, accessing or downloading the list through mjl.clarivate.com requires a login, which can be inconvenient—especially for international researchers. To make things easier, we are providing a simplified and fully accessible version of the updated journal categories here for free, without requiring an account.

Researchers from Turkey, United States, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Cyprus, United Kingdom, Japan, Chile, Italy, Croatia, Oman, Belgium, Portugal, and Poland frequently use the Master Journal List to verify journal authenticity and choose the best publication venues.

Introduction

The Master Journal List Clarivate platform allows researchers to check whether a journal is listed under Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), or Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). With the 2025 update, many journals have been added or reclassified across different areas of science and social science.

Below, we have organized representative journal examples into tables to make your review faster and more convenient. This structure mirrors the organization commonly used in the Web of Science Master Journal List and helps researchers navigate the MJL with ease.

How to Double Check a Journal’s Indexing

Even when you have access to updated lists, it is important to confirm a journal’s indexing through the official platform to avoid incorrect information.

Steps to verify indexing:

Visit the official Master Journal List website

Search for the journal directly on the platform.

Enter the journal’s full title

Using exact spelling helps avoid confusion with similar names.

Review the indexing categories

A journal will clearly display whether it is listed in:

SCI
SSCI
ESCI
AHCI
Other Web of Science collections

Confirm ISSN and publisher information

This helps avoid confusion with cloned or predatory journals.

Make sure the journal appears in the search results

If it does not, it is not indexed in Web of Science.
