Abstract

An objective and multi-perspective evaluation of academic impact might provide a more complete understanding of the recent evolution of Chinese medical journals. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the academic impact of these journals using citation data from the JCR database. We collected data on Chinese medical journals for the analysis, including journal title, ISSN, language, publisher, frequency, impact factor, median impact factor (category), citable items, total cites, self cites, immediacy index, and aggregate immediacy index (category). We found most indicators of the Chinese medical journals were in middle-low position or low position. This indicated that the quality and impact of these journals was comparatively low. Based on the above finding, efforts need to be made to improve the quality and impact of Chinese medical journals.
