Abstract:
Objective: To describe the impact factor of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA
from 1997 until 2000 and to identify the patterns of citation of the journal
and topics having the greatest impact.

Method: SCISEARCH was used to locate citations of articles published by
ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA between 1995 and 1999. The following data were
collected for each article: year of publication, authors, journal, country
of publication, language, specialty or specialties, institution(s),
residence of the first author and topic. The impact factor was calculated as
the ratio of citations received in one year by articles published in
ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA during the two previous years and the total
number of articles published by ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA over the two
years under study.

Results: The impact factor of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA was 0.107 in
1997, 0.089 in 1998, 0.105 in 1999 and 0.119 in 2000. Citations were found
in a wide range of source journals, with respiratory system publications
having little weight. Citations were made mainly by Spanish authors (75%)
and self-citation was restrained (21.1%). Topics related to tuberculosis and
respiratory infections (23.6% of the citations received) and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (12.5%) made the greatest impact.

Conclusion: The impact factor of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGIA is modest,
although higher than those of some other publications included in Journal
Citation Reports.
