Abstract
This study documented the major factors of scholarly influence of kinesiology journals: impact and prestige. Four citation-based biblometric indicators were extracted for kinesiology journals from three databases: Thompson-Reuters Journal Citation Reports, SCImago Journal and Country Rank, and Eigenfactor.org. Two metrics (Eigenfactor™ and Hirsch index) estimated journal prestige, while SCImago Journal Rank and the Impact Factor estimated impact. Correlations and curve fits confirmed the impact and prestige structure in kinesiology journals that has been reported in other fields. Combined impact and prestige scores showed some journals with high influence, but about twenty percent of the journals with ratings of either impact or prestige higher (0.5 SD) than the other. Kinesiology journals may make different contributions to the knowledge generation and storage roles of scholarly publications.
