Building a list of journals with constructed impact factors
Abstract
This communication describes the building of a list of constructed impact factors (CIF) for biomedical journals not included in the 1996 editions of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The online retrieval from the host DIMDI of the data needed for impact factor calculation is described in detail. At present, the CIF list comprises 338 titles. The top 100 (ranked according to their CIFs) are shown. The complete list is available via the World Wide Web at the URL: http://www.medizin.fu‐berlin.de/medbib/CIF/cif.html. The possible usefulness of constructed impact factors for citation and evaluation studies is discussed.
