Abstract: | A new citation matrix is proposed for the computation of journal influence weights applying Geller's methodology. Instead of self-citations, references to fringe journals are introduced and the proportions of all references (without self-citations) are used as matrix elements. On the basis of the determined weights, relative weights for fringe journals are calculated, i.e. the initial set (core) of journals is extended and simultaneously a rank order is obtained (by total influence and influence per article). The procedure is examplified on elementary particle physics (EPP) journals. Using first a reference/citation criterion, eight core journals were determined by iteration and then influence weights were calculated. A ranking by total influence and influence per article is presented for core and fringe journals in EPP. |
