Abstract

By means of h-index, 5-years impact factor(IF5) and innovative indicator hTci-median which is a median-citation of all papers covered by the h-index of a journal, based on the data collected in Web of Science and JCR, this paper makes a statistical analysis on the top-50 journals in 2010 JCR in four subjects of physics, biomedical science, business & finance and social science quantitatively. It identifies the core value of each top-50 journal in their respective subject, and proposes a three-stage evaluation method. The large empirical analysis reveals the differences among connotations and attributes of h-index, IF5 and hTci-median in the journal assessment, and proves the scientificity of hTci-median as a new journal evaluation indicator.
