Carr JE, Britton LN "Citation trends of applied journals in behavioral psychology: 1981-2000" JOURNAL OF APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS 36 (1): 113-117 SPR 2003

[Ronald Rousseau]

Could someone tell these authors that journal evaluation does not begin and
end with the JCR, and that other people have done similar studies (in other
fields)? They do not seem to be aware of this fact (see their reference list).

> Abstract:
> One variable with which to evaluate scientific journals is how often
> their
> articles are cited in the literature. Such data are amenable to
> longitudinal
> analysis and can be used as a measure of a journal's impact on
> research
> within a discipline. We evaluated multiple citation measures for a
> number of
> applied journals in behavioral psychology from 1981 to 2000. The
> results
> indicate a relatively consistent impact across these journals, with
> some
> evidence of growth.
