Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: In April 2013, the journal metrics of the Korean Journal of Urology (KJU) were reported. That report showed tremendous improvement from the point of view of journal metrics. Two years later, the same metrics were reanalyzed to determine the present position of the KJU among the international journals in the Web of Science.
Materials and Methods: I analyzed journal metrics of the KJU such as impact factor, total citations, and h-index by use of the same methods as in the previous report.
Results: Total citations in the Web of Science were 332 in 2012, 439 in 2013, and 578 in 2014. Manually calculated impact factors from 2012 to 2014 were 0.770, 0.824, and 0.751, respectively. There was an increase in the h-index from 8 in 2012 to 11 in February 2015. Editorial board members were from 15 countries in 2014. Authors of KJU articles were from 21 countries in 2014.
Conclusions: During 2 years, remarkable progress was made in KJU’s citation indicators and in the diversity of the authors’ and editorial board members’ countries.
