Abstract:
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to propose a multiple set of
journal evaluation indicators using methods and theories from author
analysis. Among those are the journal citation identity and the journal
citation image.
Design/methodology/approach - The Journal of Documentation is celebrating
its 60th anniversary, and for that reason it is portrayed in a
bibliometric study using the two indicators, based, e.g. on analyses of
references in journal articles and journal co-citation analyses.

Findings - The Journal of Documentation, which is portrayed in this study
is characterized by high impact and high visibility. It publishes a
relatively low number of documents with scientific content compared to
other journals in the same field. It reaches far into the scientific
community and belongs to a field that is more and more visible. The
journal is relatively closely bounded to Western Europe, which is an
increasing tendency.

Research limitations/implications - The research is based on analyses of
just three LIS journals. Practical implications - journal citation
identity and the journal citation image indicators contribute in giving a
more detailed multifaceted picture of a single journal.

Originality/value - The multiple set of indicators give rise to a journal
evaluation of a more qualitative nature.
