Journalology

There were about 28,100 active scholarly peer-reviewed journals in mid 2012, collectively publishing about 1.8–1.9 million articles a year. The number of articles published each year and the number of journals have both grown steadily for over two centuries, by about 3% and 3.5% per year respectively* Almost everything is publishable somewhere So find the right journal Get to know the journals in your area What are their interests? What are their styles? Refereed or not? Listed in bibliographic databases? Impact factor? The stm report An overview of scientific and scholarly journal publishing, November 2012

Journal Impact Factors

A tool to help identify key research in your field

Impact Factor Formula

• Impact Factor (IF) measures how often articles in a specific journal have been cited.

• It is the ratio of articles published to articles cited during a rolling two-year window A/B

• A = citations in 2012 : articles cited in 2010-11

• B = citable items published in 2010-11 year 2012 citations to 2010 + 2011 articles articles published in 2010 + 2011

• Choosing journals for publication • Evaluation of scholarly research & individual performance, for purposes of

tenure and promotion, and funding • Evaluation of departments, institutions, and nations • Collection development
