We all have a sense of which are the premier research journals and which are secondary or tertiary. Long established journals such as the journals of the Royal Statistical Society, the American Statistical Association, Biometrika, the Association for Computing Machinery, IEEE, and so on, have come to define the nature of the disciplines they advocate. They have a stature to match their longevit...

With the aid of a universal facial variation dictionary, sparse representation based classifier (SRC) has been naturally extended for face recognition (FR) with single sample per person (SSPP) and achieved promising performance. However, extracting discriminative facial features and building powerful representation framework for classifying query face images are still the bottlenecks of improvi...

This study is a bibliometric analysis of a highly complex research discipline, namely geography, in order to identify the most used and cited publication channels, to reveal publication strategies, and to analyse the discipline’s coverage in the three main data sources for citation analyses: Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. The results show very heterogeneous and individual publicatio...

Twenty‐four journals in emergency medicine are listed according to the 2014 JCR Science Edition [Table 1]. Nine journals have originated from the USA, four from the UK, four from Germany, and others from seven different countries. The number of journals increased from 11 in 2005 to 24 in 2014. Compared with 2005 (or the 1st year IF documentation), the IFs of 17 out of 24 journals increased in 2...

This communication describes the building of a list of constructed impact factors (CIF) for biomedical journals not included in the 1996 editions of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The online retrieval from the host DIMDI of the data needed for impact factor calculation is described in detail. At present, the CIF list comprises 338 titles. The top 100 (ranked according to their CIFs) are sh...

background : breast cancer is the most common cancer among jordanian women, yet survival data are scarce. this study aims to assess the observed five-year survival rate of breast cancer in jordan from 1997 to 2002 and to determine factors that may influence survival. methods : data were obtained from the jordan cancer registry (jcr), which is a population-based registry. from 1997-2002, 2121 pa...

Since 2014, when we renamed the official journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), Ultrasonography has been published in English only with a full Open Access policy, and the number of citations of Ultrasonography articles by articles in other journals has increased [1]. All of the e-published articles in the “ahead-of-print” status as well as all officially issued articles...

INTRODUCTION Eugene Garfield laid one of the key empirical foundations for modern information science through the innovation of the citation indexing of science. He created the impact factor as part of the process of developing the Science Citation Index (SCI) produced by his company, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). In determining the coverage of this index, Garfield utilized tw...

Joint communication and radar sensing (JCR) represents an emerging research field aiming to integrate the above two functionalities into a single system, sharing majority of hardware signal processing modules and, in typical case, transmitted signal. It is recognised as key approach significantly improving spectrum efficiency, reducing device size, cost power consumption, performance thanks pot...
