Centrality Measures for Journals included in the JCR

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Centrality Measures of  <http://www.leydesdorff.net/centrality/index.htm>
7379 Journals included in

the  <http://www.leydesdorff.net/centrality/index.htm> Science Citation
Index and Social Science Citation Index 2004



The four centrality measures used by UCINET were applied to the aggregated
journal-journal citations contained in the Journal Citation Reports of the
Science Citation Index 2004 and Social Science Citation Index 2004.



.       See for definitions of the centrality measures: R. A. Hanneman & M.
Riddle (2005). Introduction to Social Network Methods. Riverside, CA:
University of California, Riverside; at http://faculty.ucr.edu/~hanneman/.

.       The program UCINET is available at http://www.analytictech.com/ .
The large number of decimals is copied from the output of UCINET. The user
may wish to adapt this to one's own preference.

.       The cited patterns are used as the row variables and the citing
patterns as the column variables; the measures thus provide centrality in
terms of "being cited."
