Abstract:
Objective: In recent years, the editorial board and editorial department of Chinese Journal of Epidemiology have taken a series of measures to further improve the academic quality and influence of the journal. This study analyzed the citation index of Chinese Journal of Epidemiology from 2006 to 2019, and evaluated the academic quality and influence of the journal. Methods: The total citation frequency, impact factor, annual index and other citation rate etc. of Chinese Journal of Epidemiology were extracted from Chinese S&T Journal Citation Report, 2006-2019 (Expanded Edition) and Chinese S&T Journal Citation Report, 2006-2019 (Natural Science) for the analysis on academic quality and influence of the journal. Results: From 2006 to 2019, there were 241-406 articles published in Chinese Journal of Epidemiology per year. The literature selection rate over the years ranged from 66% to 100%. The total expanded citation frequency of Chinese Journal of Epidemiology increased from 3 365 in 2006 to 7 817 in 2019, and the total core citation frequency increased from 1 875 in 2006 to 5 055 in 2019 with slight fluctuation. The expanded impact factor increased from 1.566 in 2006 to 2.799 in 2019. The core impact factor increased from 0.904 in 2006 to 1.842 in 2019. The expanded annual index rose from 0.224 in 2006 to 0.741 in 2019. The core annual index rose from 0.170 in 2006 to 0.602 in 2019. Conclusion: The academic quality and influence of Chinese Journal of Epidemiology has been improved gradually and its ability to focus on hot spots and report new academic achievement has been further strengthened in recent years.
