RE: Journals

From: sduffull@pharmacy.uq.edu.au Subject: RE: [NMusers] Journals Date: Tue, July 19, 2005 7:15 am Hi all Thanks to everyone who responded to the impromptu survey. Overall I received 22 responses from NMUsers which is actually quite a reasonable number since I am guessing that only 1 person from a particular group would have responded, so this could equate to responses from 22 M&S groups (somewhat of an assumption). Below are the summary characteristics. I evaluated the responses from two viewpoints: 1) The proportion of times that any particular Journal was listed in the top 5, and 2) a ranking score for the Journal. The ranking was evaluated as the sum of the ranks for each Journal over the responses that provided a ranked list, such that First place = 5; Second place = 4; Third place = 3; Fourth place = 2; Fifth place = 1; Not placed = 0. There were 14 responses where the rank of the Journal could be assessed. The maximum rank (corresponding to a first in every response) was therefore 70. 1) Proportion of times that a Journal was listed in the top 5 Journal % of times in top 5 Impact factor ================================================= JPKPD 95% 0.75 Clin Pharmacol Ther 77% 6.83 Br J Clin Pharmacol 59% 2.55 Clin Pharmacokinet 45% 5.45 J Clin Pharmacol 32% 2.27 Pharm Res 36% 2.94 Stat Med 23% 1.40 JPET 14% 4.34 Eur J Clin Pharmacol 14% 2.08 J Pharm Sci 9% 2.18 E J Pharm Sci 9% 1.949 Drug Metab Rev, Biometrics, Eur J Pharmacol, Clin Ther, Biopharm Drug Dispos, Ther Drug Monit, Comp Meth Prog Biomed all got 1 response (5%) 2) Ranking Journal Ranking (max=70) ================================== JPKPD 61 Clin Pharmacol Ther 40 B J Clin Pharmacol 34 Clin Pharmacokinet 21 J Clin Pharmacol 13 Pharm Res 9 Stat Med 9 JPET 4 Eur J Clin Pharmacol 4 J Pharm Sci 3 E J Pharm Sci - Drug Metab Rev 1 Biometrics - Eur J Pharmacol 1 Clin Ther 1 Biopharm Drug Dispos 4 Ther Drug Monit 3 Comp Meth Prog Biomed 2 I hope this is of some interest.
