Abstract

BACKGROUND: (ALM) was performed to understand its position in the medical laboratory technology category and to suggest a developmental strategy. METHODS: Journal metrics, including the number of articles by publication type, country of authors, total citations, 2-year impact factor, country of cited authors, journals citing ALM, and Hirsch-index, were obtained from the Journal Citation Report and Web of Science Core Collection. Target data included ALM content in the Web of Science from January 1, 2012, to October 5, 2021. Bibliometric analysis was performed using Biblioshiny. RESULTS: . The collaboration network showed that Korean authors collaborated mainly with authors from the USA, Germany, and Italy. CONCLUSIONS: The journal's promotion to an international top-tier journal has been successful. "Principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing" and a preprint policy are yet to be added.
