Journals & Ranking

An academic journal or research journal is a periodical publication in which research articles relating to a particular academic discipline is published, according to Wikipedia. Currently, there are more than 25,000 peer-reviewed journals that are indexed in citation index databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. These indexes are ranked on the basis of various metrics such as CiteScore, H-index, etc. The metrics are calculated from yearly citation data of the journal. A lot of efforts are given to make a metric that reflects the journal's quality.

Abstract The objective of this work was to identify scientific journals that were discontinued in the Scientific Electronic Library Online Brazil Collection and to analyze the motivations expressed in the editorials. The methodology involved identifying the characteristics of the 75 journal titles, and the editorials of the year of discontinuation and the subsequent one were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results show 75 journals from all areas of knowledge, 52 published editorials on the subject, from which 156 texts were identified. Scientific Electronic Library Online uses two categories of generic reasons: finished (40 titles), the titles have been changed, with 38 remaining at the base, and interrupted indexing (35 titles) that were taken off the base, but the volumes already indexed were maintained. In the finished category, five main motivations were identified: internationalization and / or international visibility (62.5%), modernization (5.0%), change of publishing entity (5.0%), change of publishing entity and internationalization (2.5%), absorbed by another journal (2.5%), unidentified motivations (22.5%). In the interrupted indexing category, we identified three main motivations: internationalization and or international visibility, partnership with an international commercial publisher (34.0%), delay in launching new issues (14.4%), against Scientific Electronic Library Online internationalization policy (2,9%), unidentified motivations (48.7%). The large number of reasons not identified in editorials shows the need to increase transparency in the management of journals. Internationalization, the main motivation found, promoted by Scientific Electronic Library Online criteria and seems to have been understood in several ways in the editorials. While the majority remained at the base, 12 titles that entered into partnerships with international commercial publishers were identified and left Scientific Electronic Library Online.

There are now many methods available to assess the relative citation performance of peer-reviewed journals. Regardless of their individual faults and advantages, citation-based metrics are used by researchers to maximize the citation potential of their articles, and by employers to rank academic track records. The absolute value of any particular index is arguably meaningless unless compared to other journals, and different metrics result in divergent rankings. To provide a simple yet more objective way to rank journals within and among disciplines, we developed a κ-resampled composite journal rank incorporating five popular citation indices: Impact Factor, Immediacy Index, Source-Normalized Impact Per Paper, SCImago Journal Rank and Google 5-year h-index; this approach provides an index of relative rank uncertainty. We applied the approach to six sample sets of scientific journals from Ecology (n = 100 journals), Medicine (n = 100), Multidisciplinary (n = 50); Ecology + Multidisciplinary (n = 25), Obstetrics & Gynaecology (n = 25) and Marine Biology & Fisheries (n = 25). We then cross-compared the κ-resampled ranking for the Ecology + Multidisciplinary journal set to the results of a survey of 188 publishing ecologists who were asked to rank the same journals, and found a 0.68–0.84 Spearman’s ρ correlation between the two rankings datasets. Our composite index approach therefore approximates relative journal reputation, at least for that discipline. Agglomerative and divisive clustering and multi-dimensional scaling techniques applied to the Ecology + Multidisciplinary journal set identified specific clusters of similarly ranked journals, with only Nature & Science separating out from the others. When comparing a selection of journals within or among disciplines, we recommend collecting multiple citation-based metrics for a sample of relevant and realistic journals to calculate the composite rankings and their relative uncertainty windows.

The database includes information on Russian journals published by Federal universities, National Research universities and Basic universities and covers such aspects as indexing information in different bibliographic databases, volumes of indexed papers in 2018-2022, rankings in different databases, subject categories, geographical locations, numbers of issues per year, list of founders, journals sites, etc. (in total 59 variables).

This dataset was compiled as part of a study on Barriers and Opportunities in the Discoverability and Indexing of Student-led Academic Journals. The list of student journals and their details is compiled from public sources. This list is used to identify the presence of Canadian student journals in Google Scholar as well as in select indexes and databases: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, Erudit, ProQuest, and HeinOnline. Additionally, journal publishing platform is recorded to be used for a correlational analysis against Google Scholar indexing results. For further details see README.

Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciences Abstract & Indexing - ResearchHelpDesk - Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (0250-474X), is the official scientific publication of the Indian Pharmaceutical Association. It started in 1939 as the Indian Journal of Pharmacy. the journal is published Bimonthly. Abstracting and Indexing Information The journal is included in the following Abstracting / Indexing services: Biosis Preview, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS), CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International (CABI), Cite Factor, EBSCO A-Z, Ex-Libris, Hamdard University, Journal TOCs, JournalSeek, Journal Citation Reports, Open J Gate, Publons, Proquest Summons, Refseek, Secret Search Engine Labs, Sherpa Romeo, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, SJR (Scimago Journal and Country Rank), UGC (University Grants Commission), Ulrich Periodical Directory, World Cat - OCLC and Web of Science. Journal Ethics The Indian Journal of Pharmacy started in 1939 as "a quarterly journal devoted to the Science and practice of Pharmacy in all its branches". The Chief Editor and the main guiding force behind the 'Journal' was Prof. M. L. Schroff, Head of the Department of Pharmaceutics, Benaras Hindu University, Benaras. Owing to various difficulties experienced in publishing the 'Journal" at Benaras, the Council of IPA decided in 1946 to entrust the task to its Bombay Branch, and to transfer the editorial and publication offices to Bombay. Prof. M. L. Khorana, Head of the Pharmaceuticals Section, Department of Chemical Technology, Bombay University was requested to take the Editorship. In 1949 it was decided to publish this journal bi-monthly instead of quarterly. Soon after from January 1950 this journal started coming out as a monthly periodical. While Mr. S. P. Mukherji worked as Assistant Editor from 1946 to 1952, in May 1950 Mr. N. S. Bhunvara joined as the second Assistant Editor. The Headquarters of the IPA was shifted to Bombay with effect from 1st January 1953 and this helped considerably the publication of this journal and its circulation to members. Prof. Khorana resigned as Editor of the journal with effect from 1 January 1954 and Dr. G. B. Ramasarma succeeded him as the Editor and Mr. A. I. Mehta and Dr. R. S. Baichwal joined as Assistant Editors. In 1955 July, the journal’s office together with those of the Association and the Bombay State Branch was shifted from U. D. C. T., Matunga to Kalam Kutir 213-219, Frere Road, Bombay - 1. From 1959, Mr. L. S. Patel joined as the third Assistant Editor. In 1963, the Indian Journal of Pharmacy celebrated its Silver Jubilee. A detailed history of the Journal was published in the journal (IJP, 1963, 25, 8-17). The year 1969 represented an important milestone in the history of IJP. From this year it changed its character from that of “the official publication” of the IPA to that of "the official scientific publication" of the association. Publication of professional and other general articles and Association News was taken over by a new monthly periodical called "Pharma Times" with Mr. A. I. Mehta as its Editor. The IJP became an exclusively scientific journal and the frequency of its publication was reduced to that of a bimonthly. Dr. R. S. Baichwal took over as the first Editor of this Journal. In 1979 the name of IJP was expanded to the 'Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences'. In 1986, Dr. C. L. Kaul joined as the Associated Editor, went on to become the Editor in 1992, and continued till 1996. Dr. Rao V. S. V. Vadlamudi joined the editorial team as the Associate Editor in 1994, became the Editor in 1996, and continued till 2013. Dr. Divakar Goli is elected as the Editor for IJPS in 2014 and continues till date. The journal changed its get-up in 2000 and became online in 2006 with the journal website www.ijpsonline.com. Currently it is available as a print version with a circulation of about 800 and also available online. Indian Pharmaceutical Association The Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) is the oldest premier association of pharmaceutical professionals in India, with a member base of over 13,000, spread across the length and breadth of the country. IPA operates in India through 20 state branches and more than 45 local branches. The members represent various facets of pharmaceutical profession viz., industry, regulatory, community and hospital pharmacy practices, and education. As a member of the Drug Technical Advisory Board, India, IPA is actively involved in advising the government on matters of professional importance. IPA is affiliated with international pharma associations like FIP, FAPA, CPA, AAPS, AAiPS, IPSF and is working with international bodies such as WHO and WHPA for carrying out various collaborative professional activities that include organizing training programs for professionals from industry, academics, regulatory and practice. IPA makes representations to the authorities on matters of professional interest and works constantly towards upgrading the standards of pharmacy professional services offered by the pharmacists. IPA’s major objective is to position pharmacists as one of the important healthcare providers in our country. The IPA is committed to promote the highest professional and ethical standards of pharmacy, focus the image of pharmacists as competent healthcare professionals, sensitize the community, government, and others on vital professional issues and support pharmaceutical education and sciences in all aspects.

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the indexing policies of Brazilian journals on Information Science. It considers the scarce approach to the subject in the context of scientific communication, as well as the pragmatic need to systematize the action of assigning keywords by the author of the publication. It aims to analyze the online guidelines for assignment of keywords to articles during the submission process. It is a descriptive research that follows a qualitative and quantitative methodology. It can be characterized as a documentary research as the data was collected from the publication policies and guidelines for authors that are made available by the journals. We also conducted a content analysis to systematize the collected data. The results reveal the existence of guidelines related to the number of terms, mostly connected to selection in indexing. This was not the case for the specifications of the depth of terms and the indexing language, despite the referral to the latter in a total of five journals that use a controlled language. We conclude that Brazilian journals of Information Science need to pay a greater attention to the implementation of indexing policies in order to provide a greater assertiveness to the authors, especially during the attribution of keywords.

Dataset from a study aiming to analyze the coverage of Latin American and Caribbean journals in Google Scholar Metrics (GSM). Data from 8,205 journals from 24 countries of the region were downloaded from Latindex database. A Python script was used for automated title search and data extraction (titles, h5-index, h5-median, URLs) in GSM. For the journals not found, a manual search was carried out, with attempts by variations of the title. It was found 3,070 journals indexed in GSM, which corresponds to 37.42% of the Latindex list. The search was performed on the 2021 edition of GSM, which considers articles published between 2016 and 2020 and citations registered until July 2021. The number of all types of documents published (productivity) in the h5-index period (2016-2020) in Scopus, Journal Citation Reports, and SciELO of 1,314 journals was also identified.

The present dataset is the result of this study, which is under peer-review in a scientific journal.

The dataset comprises titles, h5-index; h5-median, URLs of 3,070 publications from Latin America and the Caribbean identified in Google Scholar Metrics, and the respective editorial information of the publications was extracted from Latindex

The original language of the content was kept, mainly Spanish in the case of editorial data from Latindex. The columns descriptors are also shown in English.

The productivity data refer to the number of all types of documents published by the journals in the period 2016-2020. Data were extracted from the InCities Journal Citation Reports, Scopus, and SciELO Citation Index (Web of Science database).

In this version 2, only the productivity data were changed, covering a larger number of journals (1,314) and including all types of documents. Other data are the same as in the first version (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5572873).

Dataset of African Journals Online publications and journals (last update: February 2024). The dataset contains metadata for articles and journals indexed in African Journals Online (AJOL). It provides the information contained in AJOL in a structured format that can be downloaded and used easily. It also contains a unique identifier matching AJOL articles with their OpenAlex records in order to facilitate the use, comparison, and combination of both data sources.

Details about the download, methods, and findings are reported in the following preprint:

The aim of this paper is to present an assessment of the positioning of "diamond" open access (OA) journals, understanding by positioning their indexing in Web of Science and Scopus, the two indexes of academic journals that form the reference framework for the evaluation of publications, as well as of the articles and the academic performance of their authors. The intention that aims to justify this work is to promote the choice of diamond open access journals as publication journals by those authors who base their journal selection criteria on the currently predominant scheme for scientific evaluation and recognition, which is based on WoS/Scopus citation indicators. Although there is abundant literature and controversy on the biases, inconveniences and distortions caused by the unilaterally quantitative evaluation procedure and filtered by bibliometric indicators, this work aims to favor the perception of diamond OA journals in order to counteract the "Gold" open access publication based on article processing charges. The source of information for the identification and retrieval of information on OA diamond journals worldwide is the Directory of Open Access Journals. To process the information, a database was created, which is available online and whose function is to update its contents annually in order to support authors in the selection of journals for publication, with the double characteristic of international indexing and the absence of APCs.

This file contains a list of journals used to assess publication productivity of the top 10 countries across medical specialties. For the 10 medical specialties, the journal category of the 2020 Scientific Journal Rankings (SJR) was used. These journals are listed in both and PubMed. Three types of journal lists are included: a) ALL dataset, b) 30H dataset, and c) 30P dataset. For the 10 medical specialties, the ALL dataset contains all journals, the 30H dataset contains 30 journals with the highest h-index scores, and the 30P dataset contains 30 journals with the highest number of published articles. For these journals, the actual bibliographic records could be downloaded from the NIH website (http://nlm.nih.gov/databases/download/pubmed_medline.html).

Context

The following shortlist of diamond open-access journals was compiled to increase awareness of alternative scholarly publication models among the six departments of the Faculty of Science at Utrecht University. The list is relevant to the six disciplines at the Faculty of Science: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. For this purpose, a "diamond journal" is defined as a journal indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) that does not charge an article processing charge (APC).

Contents and Results

The Excel file titled “Diamond_journals_faculty_of_science_UU” contains the list of selected diamond journals based on the following criteria: they allow submissions in English, have a plagiarism screening policy, possess an electronic ISSN number, and accept submissions in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In this shortlist, 355 journals meet the criteria. Out of these 355 journals, only 29 have received a DOAJ seal, 150 journals are indexed in Scopus, and 94 journals are indexed in Web of Science.

A detailed description of the methods employed to obtain this shortlist can be found in the Word file titled "Methods_and_Results".

The raw CSV data has been included under the name "Raw_DOAJ_journal_metadata_2023_07_25".

Limitations

The compilers of this shortlist are aware that some current diamond journals could change their status to non-diamond by charging article processing fees at a later stage. Since the journal record is not always updated by the publishers, we strongly recommend the users double-check the latest open access status directly on the journal's homepage (journal URLs are provided in the Excel file). The same applies for Scopus and WOS indexations.

It is difficult to determine the influence and impact of journals which are not covered by the ISI databases and Journal Citation Report. However, with the availability of databases such as MyAIS (Malaysian Abstracting and Indexing System), which offers sufficient information to support bibliometric analysis as well as being indexed by Google Scholar which provides citation information, it has become possible to obtain productivity, citation and impact information for non-ISI indexed journals. The bibliometric tool Harzing's Publish and Perish was used to collate citation information from Google scholar. The study examines article productivity, the citations obtained by articles and calculates the impact factor of Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM) published between 2004 and 2008. MJM is the oldest medical journal in Malaysia and the unit of analysis is 580 articles. The results indicate that once a journal is covered by MyAIS it becomes visible and accessible on the Web because Google Scholarindexes MyAIS. The results show that contributors to MJM were mainly Malaysian (91) and the number of Malaysian-Foreign collaborated papers were very small (28 articles, 4.8). However, citation information from Google scholar indicates that out of the 580 articles, 76.8 (446) have been cited over the 5-year period. The citations were received from both mainstrean foreign as well as Malaysian journals and the top three citors were from China, Malaysia and the United States. In general more citations were received from East Asian countries, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The 2-yearly impact factor calculated for MJM is 0.378 in 2009, 0.367 in 2008, 0.616 in 2007 and 0.456 in 2006. The 5-year impact factor is calculated as 0.577. The results show that although MJM is a Malaysian journal and not ISI indexed its contents have some international significance based on the citations and impact score it receives, indicating the importance of being visible especially in Google scholar.
