P-index gives a good balance between quantity(C) and quality (C/N) in journal performance evaluation. So it is useful to explore evaluating scholarly journals with P-index. Taking law journals and educational journals as the objects, the empirical studies compare the indicators, such as total number of papers(N),total citations(C), self cited rate (SCR), 5-year impact factor (IF5), H-index, eigenfactor (EFS and AIS) and P-index. This paper also analyzes the correlation of these indicators. It concludes that P-index may have a good actual applied inspection, which advantages include simple calculation method, proper differentiation of values, supporting dynamic ranking and high correlation with other landmark indicators, and high reliability in identifying excellent journal.
