I understand that this means at least that you do not take 'prestige' or other subjective qualities into account (although there could be reasons to do so), but using a renormalised impact factor as the only basis will favour certain types of papers. For example, long foundational papers may get more citations than papers that settle well-known 'terminal' problems. From what I can tell, you do a pretty good job of justifying your procedure, but what I couldn't find is an analysis of its shortcomings. | |

But maybe you already address this in your methodology. | |

Knowing that they are discontinued at a glance may save some time and effort on the part of someone trying to look for the journal for other reasons. And note my other point: having this in spreadsheet form would be more useful than merely a table in a pdf. | |

| May 7, 2015 at 23:21 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | A useful addition to this, if you do a second one, is mark which journals are free to read or open access, with a disambiguation between those OA journals that one needs to pay to publish (e.g. Research in the Mathematical Sciences) and those that cost nothing to publish in (e.g. Theory and Applications of Categories, New York Journal of Mathematics). Also helpful would be flags on journals that are no longer around, such as Topology, Journal of K-theory. Would you consider making this table available in a more adaptable format, with a brief description of the derivation in English? | |
