| Abstract: | This paper presents a new journal indicator of
citation impact of a scientific-scholarly journal. It builds further upon
Eugene Garfield’s groundbreaking ideas presented
in many of his early and later publications, by combining his concept of a
journal impact factor with his notion that “evaluation
studies using citation data must be very sensitive to all divisions, both
subtle and gross, between areas of research; and
when they are found, the study must properly compensate for disparities in
citation potential”1. The proposed indicator is based on a tailor made delimitation of a
journal’s subject field, and takes into
account the frequency and
immediacy of citation and database coverage in a subject field. |
