Abstract:
The impact factor (Institute for Scientific Information, ISI, Philadelphia,
PA, USA) is a widespread used and acknowledged source for judging the
quality of a researcher. In addition the "Science Citation Index (SCI)"
[Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)] provides the scientific
community with a citations database indicating the number of cited
references in indexed articles. For several reasons, the SCI seems to be
more relevant.

To evaluate the quality of the journal "Wiener klinische Wochenschrift", we
assessed how often contributors to this journal have been cited during the
last decade and which contributions have ranked as top papers. Moreover,
with the aim of a more objective type of scientific evaluation, we have
employed a new score, the "Citation Per Time Score (CPT-Score - the SCI
divided by the number of years of observation, starting one year after
publication). We have evaluated the total SCI for the years 1990 to 1994 and
for the years 1995 to 1999. The number of total citations between the
appearance of an article and the year 2000 was analyzed.

The highest ranked publication of the whole decade (1990-2000) was a paper
by G. Stanek with 40 citations. Furthermore, we have evaluated the "Top Ten
Papers" of the journal. Interestingly, a steady increase of the total
citation index of the journal "Wiener klinische Wochenschrift" over the last
decade could be demonstrated.

This study clearly shows that the citation rate of an article is not
determined by the impact factor of the journal but rather the quality of the
contribution. Moreover, the citation analysis of papers published in the
last ten years in the "Wiener klinische Wochenschrift" shows a satisfactory
citation rate for articles published in this journal. It is therefore
definitely attractive to submit an article to a journal such as the "Wiener
klinische Wochenschrift".
