Citation indicators of Japanese journals

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Japanese journals in bibliometric parameters such as impact factors (IFs), mean IFs from citing and cited journals, and self-citing and self-cited rates. The data consists of 128 Japanese journals indexed in the 1994 Journal Citation Reports. The results note that only 15 journals, with a wide variation of self-citing and self-cited rates, have obtained a current impact higher than 1.00. The results also note that the Japanese journals have not achieved a high international reputation, although some of the citing journals are the top most-cited journals identified by Garfield as a small core of journals worldwide. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
