sorry for cross posting if any!! ------------------------------------------ Thomson ISI Announces Highest-Impact Journals of the Decade Ranked by Citations Per Paper from 1992 to 2002 Philadelphia PA, USA June 24, 2003 � In the latest issue of Science Watch, Thomson ISI announced the highest-impact journals in selected fields of science over the last decade. In the May/June issue, the Science Watch feature article lists the top 10 journals according to citations per paper in 11 main fields (biology & biochemistry, chemistry, clinical medicine, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology & genetics, neuroscience & behavior, pharmacology, physics, plant & animal sciences, and space science). For these rankings, Science Watch turned to the Thomson ISI Web-based evaluation tool, Essential Science Indicators, which tracks publication and citation data over the last 10 years (with updates every two months). These findings are based on papers published and cited in journals indexed by Thomson ISI between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 2002. In addition to ranking specialty journals in each field, Essential Science Indicators also assigns individual papers in multidisciplinary journals to their respective fields. Of the multidisciplinary journals, Nature and Science enjoy particularly strong showings. Some of the specialty journals making the lists include the New England Journal of Medicine (Clinical Medicine), Brain (Neuroscience & Behavior), Drugs (Pharmacology & Toxicology, and Neuron (Neuroscience & Behavior), to name just a few.
