ABSTRACT:       Comparative Analysis of Impact Factor and h-index for

Pharmacology Journals. Using the strictly same parameters (identical two

publication years (2004-2005) and identical one-year citation window

(2006)), Impact Factor (IF) 2006 was compared with h-index 2006 for one

sample of "Pharmacology and Pharmacy" journals computed from the ISI Web

of Science. For this sample, the IF and the h-index rankings of the

journals are very different. The correlation coefficient between the IF

and the h-index is low for "Pharmacology and Pharmacy" journals. The IF

and h-index can be completely complementary when evaluating journals of

the same scientific discipline.
