A 30-Year Citation Analysis of Bibliometric Trends at the Archives of Environmental Health, 1975–2004

ABSTRACT This article describes a 30-year citation analysis of the Archives of Environmental Health (AEH), from the earliest available data in 1975, to 2004, when it became the Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health (AEOH). Longitudinal trends were examined regarding the number of items published, the number of citations received, the immediacy index, and the journal's impact factor. A list of the 5 most highly cited articles was also established, including citation frequency and citation lag times. Overall, this study demonstrates that citation analysis can provide an interesting look at the development of a journal over time. The examination of what articles, themes, and topics were being published, cited, or ignored also offers a unique insight into the direction of not only a particular journal, but also the discipline within which it exists.

Critical review: The health significance of environmental odor pollution : D. Shusterman. Archives of Environmental Health, 47(1), 76–87.

This paper examines the nature and characteristics of research in environmental health, viewed as the effects of the environment on human health. It is argued that most of this work has been predicated on an epidemiological approach which has yielded significant (if sometimes equivocal) findings about exposure-outcome relationships. This discussion, however, concentrates on the limited and somewhat partial view of theory implied in this perspective. It advocates instead a broad-based approach to theory as the basis for understanding significant portions of the social world. It posits, as illustrations, several social theories and with examples tries to show how environmental health research might be different.

Most cited authors and publications in health education journals for 1970-79.

This study attempted to answer the following questions about the journals Health Education, Health Education Monographs and the Journal of School Health. What authors have been cited the most in health education journals during the decade of the 70s? What authors have been cited the most in each health education journal? What articles and books have been the most cited in health education journals? What have been the most cited articles and books in each health education journal? It was found that the most cited author was L. W. Green, the most cited articles were L. W. Green "Toward Cost-Benefit Evaluations of Health Education: Some Concepts, Methods and Examples." Health Education Monographs and S. V. Kasl "Health Behavior, Illness Behavior and Sick-Role Behavior." Archives of Environmental Health and the most cited books was School Health Education Study, Health Education: A Conceptual Approach to Curriculum Design. Most cited authors, articles and books varied across the three journals.

Lead Poisoning and Fecundity in Men

Although a standard textbook of medicine devotes extensive descriptions of the effects of lead poisoning on the gut, the nervous system, the brain, the blood, the gingival lead line, and other symptoms, no mention is made of effects on the male gonads. In the current issue of the Archives of Environmental Health (30:396, 1975) is a report from Switzerland by Lancranjan et al that indicates serious gonadal impairment in men exposed to lead in a storage battery factory. The effects were shown to be direct in that tests for a hypothalamopituitary influence were negative. The authors studied 150 workmen who had had longterm exposure to lead in varying degrees. Clinical and toxicological criteria were used to categorize the men into four groups: lead-poisoned workmen, and those showing moderate, slight, and physiologic absorption of lead. Semen analysis demonstrated hypofertility in lead-poisoned workers as well as in those who had a moderately
