ISI warning: You should not depend
solely on citation data for journal evaluations. Citation data are
not meant to replace informed peer review. Additionally, careful attention
should be paid to the many conditions that can influence citation rates,
such as language, journal history and format, publication schedule,
and subject specialty. The number of articles given for journals listed
in the JCR include only original research and review articles. Editorials,
letters, news items, and meeting abstracts are not included in article
counts because they are not generally cited. Journals publishing in
non-English languages or using non-Roman alphabets may be less accessible
to researchers worldwide, which can influence their citation patterns.
This should be taken into account in any comparative journal citation
analysis. |
