Hi all
I was hoping to put together a list of the 5 top Journals in the area of
popPKPD. For the purposes of this email I would like to include both
application and methodology associated with modelling, simulation and design
of popPKPD studies.
I would be greatful if everyone would send me a list of what they consider
to be the top five Journals in our area (for whatever reason).
Please send this to me (not the list).
I will colate the results and post them back to the list for your interest.
Kind regards
Steve

Hi all
I have had a few responses to my question regarding the top 5 Journals. I
was hoping to get a few more to get a better reflection on what our group
considers to be the best 5.
Part of the reason for this request is that some of the Journals that we
publish in have very low impact factors, despite being what we consider high
quality Journals. This low impact factor is viewed by others (outside of
our area) as reflecting poor quality work. My hope is to get objective
evidence from the experts in our area (i.e. the recipients of this email)
about what they consider top Journals are in our field.
Please send your response to me - and I am grateful for your time.

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
