By September 2017, PLOS One confirmed they had published over 200,000 articles. [16] By November 2017, the journal Scientific Reports overtook PLOS One in terms of output. [17] [18] At PLOS One, the median review time has grown from 37 days to 125 days over the first ten years of operation, according to Himmelstein's analysis, done for Nature ...
The open access publisher PLOS provides article level metrics for all of its journals [8] including downloads, citations, and altmetrics. [9] In March 2014 it was announced that COUNTER statistics, which measure usage of online scholarly resources, are now available at the article level.
Negative consequences of rankings are generally well-documented and relate to the performativity of using journal rankings for performance measurement purposes. [20] [21] Studies of methodological quality and reliability have found that "reliability of published research works in several fields may be decreasing with increasing journal rank", [22] contrary to widespread expectations.
The Australian Political Studies Association (APSA) ranked academic publishers in 2007, taking into consideration both book and journal publication. [12] By 2022 this was replaced by a ranking of journal titles only. [13] In 2007, their top-ranked (A+) publishers were: Cambridge University Press; University of Chicago Press; Columbia University ...
The composite index or composite indicator (abbreviated as c-score) [1] [2] is a new numerical indicator that evaluates the quality of a scientist's research publications, regardless of the scientific field in which he/she operates.
Occasionally, Journal Citation Reports assigns an impact factor to new journals with less than two years of indexing, based on partial citation data. [12] [13] The calculation always uses two complete and known years of item counts, but for new titles one of the known counts is zero. Annuals and other irregular publications sometimes publish no ...
The papers introducing the ranking have been quoted extensively by authors working in Bibliometrics and Scientometrics.For example, reference [3] describing an update to the methodology of this index number receives about 200 citations in Google Scholar [12] from authors publishing in journals such as SAGE's Research on Social Work Practice, [10] Elsevier's Perspectives in Ecology and ...
Journals with a lower impact (e.g. PLOS ONE, impact factor 3.1) publish many papers that are cited 0 to 5 times but few highly cited articles. [21] Journal-level metrics are often misinterpreted as a measure for journal quality or article quality.
