Commonly Perceived Problems of
Journal Quality Lists
• Wheat and Chaff
• Quality journals publishing poor papers?
• High quality research often appears in lesser quality
journals?
• Special Issues … editorial standards maintained
• New Journals …. tend to be lower down the scale
until ‘proved’
• Citation Impact Factors are sufficient to measure
journal quality …. not in isolation!
• Limitations - Incomplete coverage (493 out of 1041 in
ABS Guide)
