Citation Advantage

The citation impact of a comprehensive sample of articles published in social and personality psychology journals in 1998 was evaluated. Potential predictors of the 10-yr. citation impact of 1,580 articles from 37 journals were investigated, including number of authors, number of references, journal impact factor, author nationality, and article length, using linear regression. The impact factor of the journal in which articles appeared was the primary predictor of the citations that they accrued, accounting for 30% of the total variance. Articles with greater length, more references, and more authors were cited relatively often, although the citation advantage of longer articles was not proportionate to their length. A citation advantage was also enjoyed by authors from the United States of America, Canada, and the United Kingdom. 37% of the variance in the total number of citations was accounted for by the study variables.

Journal Citation

The 2015 Thomson-Reuters Journal Citation Impact Factor Scores were released in June. I am very pleased to share that the MOR 2-year Impact Factor increased to 2.738 from 2.442 in 2014 and that the MOR 5-year Impact Factor also increased from 3.078 to 3.657. I was especially pleased to note that the increase in Impact Factor from 2014 to 2015 was entirely due to a significant increase in citations. Although MOR's position in the Management category dropped by one place – it should be noted that the overall number of journals listed in the Management category increased from 185 to 192. I feel that a position of 33rd is still excellent for a young, specialized field journal in its twelfth year of publication.

Scimago Journal Rank

In previous days the quality of journal is measured based on many metrics such as impact factor; SNIP(Source Normalized Impact Per paper),SJR( SCImago Journal Rank) and IPP(Impact Per Publication). It is very hard to find that the research papers to be published in which journal? CiteScore is a better way of measuring the citation impact of sources such as journals. CiteScore is a metrics product for journal from elsevier, using the citation data from the scopusdatabase to rank journals. CiteScore metrics is a comprehensive current and free metrics for source titles in scopus. Apart from Impact factor, CiteScore is becoming increasingly important in the context of evaluating metrics for all journals. CiteScore metrics are available for 37956 titles in scopus. It is not limited to journals as also conference proceedings, trade, publications and book series. The metrics are available 6 years period from 2011 to 2016. For a subset of CiteScore dataset clustering and regression algorithms can be implemented to study the data points that lie equally distant from one another.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that the journal impact factor (IF) is not able to reflect the full impact of scholarly journals and provides an overview of alternative and complementary methods in journal evaluation. Design/methodology/approach – Aslib Proceedings (AP) is exemplarily analyzed with a set of indicators from five dimensions of journal evaluation, i.e. journal output, content, perception and usage, citations and management to accurately reflect its various strengths and weaknesses beyond the IF. Findings – AP has become more international in terms of authors and more diverse regarding its topics. Citation impact is generally low and, with the exception of a special issue on blogs, remains world average. However, an evaluation of downloads and Mendeley readers reveals that the journal is an important source of information for professionals and students and certain topics are frequently read but not cited. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to one journal. Practical implications – An overview of various indicators and methods is provided that can be applied in the quantitative evaluation of scholarly journals (and also to articles, authors and institutions). Originality/value – After a publication history of more than 60 years, this analysis takes stock of AP, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and developments over time. The case study provides an example and overview of the possibilities of multidimensional journal evaluation.

Informal Approach

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing the quality of scientific publications. It is emphasized that the formal ranking of an article is currently determined, as a rule, not so much by the data obtained or formulated concepts, as by the scientometric indicators of the corresponding journals. Approaches to determining the ranking of an article based on the analysis of its citation (impact factor and its analogues) and the number of mentions in social networks (so called altmetrics), as well as the number of downloads of the paper from the publisher’s website are considered. The authors emphasize the significant role of the appearance of author-paid articles in the current change in the situation with scientific publications. It is assumed that the thorough commercialization of the process of publishing their works by scientists has led to a serious deterioration in their scientific component due to the reducing requirements for the format and content of manuscripts sent to the editors of paid journals. The authors express the hope that the “informal” approach to the evaluation of scientific articles, which is based on their content, but not the ratings of the editions that published these works, has not lost its relevance even at the present stage.
