[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 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 ...
