Related Journals have cited and citing relationships with the journal identified
at the top of the page. The relatedness (R) values derive from a calculation*
that takes into account:
- The number of citations from the citing journal to the cited journal
- The total number of articles in the related journal
- The total number of citations from the citing journal
The higher the first factor is in relation to the other two, the stronger
the relationship between the two journals.
Two values are given in the Relatedness (R) column:
| journal to j |
Citations from current
journal to Related Journal (j) |
| j to journal |
Citations from Related Journal (j)
to current journal |
The higher of these two values appears in the Rmax column. Journals
in the table are ranked according to the Rmax value. Journals at the
top of the table are more likely to have a strong subject connection to the journal
identified at the top of the page than journals at the bottom of the table.
Journals Related
to Subject Category
The same calculation* is applied to measure the relatedness of journals
to a subject category. This calculation takes into account:
- The number of citations from journals in the subject category to the
related journal.
- The total number of articles in the related journal.
- The total number of citations from journals in the subject category.
*The calculation is based on research reported in Pudovkin
AI and Garfield E (2002). "Algorithmic procedure for finding semantically
related journals." Journal of the American Society for Information
Science and Technology. 53 (13) 1113-1119. |

Related Journals data are available only for journals
that have been cited more than 100 times. Also, R values per journal pair are
calculated only if each journal cites the other at least two times (that is, citing-cited).
