Bibliometric analysis of core journals on immunology: A study based on the Annual Review of Immunology
Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: Bibliometric study on core journals on immunology derived from citations collected from the Annual Review of Immunology for four consecutive years, i.e. 1983 to 1986 reveals very high concentration of literature in a few scientific journals. The first four core journals contribute 47.96% of total citations while the first two top-ranked journals account for close to 30% of total citations. In addition to determining country , subject, physical format, chronological and language distribution of core journals in immunology, the half-life and citation peak of journals in immunology have also been worked out. The scattering of literature in immunology is determined by applying Bradford's Law. The core journals in immunology and other disciplines of biomedical sciences are also compared.
