Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Japanese journals in bibliometric parameters such as impact factors (IFs), mean IFs from citing and cited journals, and self-citing and self-cited rates. The data consists of 128 Japanese journals indexed in the 1994 Journal Citation Reports. The results note that only 15 journals, with a wide variation of self-citing and self-cited rates, have obtained a current impact higher than 1.00. The results also note that the Japanese journals have not achieved a high international reputation, although some of the citing journals are the top most-cited journals identified by Garfield as a small core of journals worldwide. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
