Internationalization of the American Journal of Roentgenology: 1980–2002

Abstract

The contents of the AJR reflect a continually increasing number of international articles during the past two decades.

Analysis of scientific papers in the field of radiology and medical imaging included in science citation index expanded published by Turkish authors

“…Analysis of articles published by American Journal of Roentgenology between 1980 and 2002 showed a continually increasing number of international articles during the past decades. The same analysis also disclosed an increasing number of publications by Turkish authors in the same period (4). With the share of 3.3% of published articles, Turkey has been a major contributor to American Journal of Neuroradiology, ranking sixth among countries outside the Unites States (5).…”

A bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Membrane Science (1976-2010)

“…The USA made the largest contribution to these kinds of journals, such as American Journal of Roentgenology (Chen et al, 2003),…”

“…In this study, the bibliometric method was employed to get an overview of JMS over the last 35 years. Bibliometric analysis, based on statistical data about publications, citations, and other related indicators, has been widely used to reveal objective performance and development of scientific journals; for example, the American Journal of Roentgenology (Elster and Chen, 1994;Chen et al, 2003), Physics (Wagner-Dobler and Berg, 1999), the American Journal of Veterinary…”

“…Meanwhile, citations per publication, which could provide a "monitoring device" for management and science policy (Moed et al, 1985), has been applied in various studies (Seng and Willett, 1995;Katz and Hicks, 1997;Huang et al, 2008). Furthermore, the internationalization of journals was also an important concern to identify centres of intellectual activity (Elster and Chen, 1994;Chen et al, 2003). Indicators related to the total number of articles, independent, and collaborative articles have been applied to evaluate the research performance of countries/territories and institutions (Chiu and Ho, 2005;Chiu and Ho, 2007;Wang et al, 2010;Ho et al, 2010).…”

Evaluating the influence of a medical journal using Google Scholar

“…Most of the citing authors were from China (227), followed by Malaysia (171), USA (123), India (43), UK (40), Germany (35), Australia (35), Brazil (31), Spain (27), and Turkey (20). In general, MJM articles received more citations from East Asia (258 citations), Europe (212), Southeast Asia (187), North America (156), Middle East (66) South Asia (61), South America (50), Australia (35), and Africa (23) ( Table 5).…”
