Abstract

Introduction

Bibliometrics evaluates the quality of biomedical journals. The aim of this study has been to compare the main bibliometric indexes of the official journals of scientific societies of Internal Medicine in Europe.

Material and methods

Bibliometric information was obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Both impact metrics (Journal Impact Factor [JIF], CiteScore) and normalized metrics (Journal Citation Indicator [JCI], Normalized Eigenfactor, Source Normalized Impact per Paper [SNIP] and SCImago Journal Rank [SJR]) of the journals for the year 2022 were analyzed, and their evolution over the last decade was described.

Results

Twenty-three official journals from 33 scientific societies were evaluated. Eight journals were included in WoS and 11 in Scopus. The best positioned journals in 2022 were: 1) European Journal of Internal Medicine, which ranked in the first quartile (Q1) for JIF, CiteScore and JCI metrics, exceeding values of 1 in Normalized Eigenfactor and SNIP metrics; 2) Internal and Emergency Medicine, with Q1 for CiteScore and JCI metrics, and with values >1 in Normalized EigenFactor and SNIP metrics; 3) Polish Archives of Internal Medicine, with Q1 for JCI metrics; 4) Revista Clínica Española, with Q2 for JIF, CiteScore and JCI metrics; and 5) Acta Medica Belgica, with Q2 for CiteScore and JCI metrics. These journals increased their impact metrics in the last 3 years, in parallel with the COVID pandemic.

Conclusions

Five official journals of European Internal Medicine societies, including Revista Clínica Española, meet high quality standards.

欧洲内科医学会官方期刊的文献计量分析。

简介文献计量学评估生物医学期刊的质量。本研究旨在比较欧洲内科学会官方期刊的主要文献计量指数：文献计量学信息来自 Web of Science (WoS) 和 Scopus 数据库。分析了2022年期刊的影响指标（期刊影响因子[JIF]、CiteScore）和归一化指标（期刊引文指标[JCI]、归一化特征因子、每篇论文来源归一化影响[SNIP]和SCImago期刊排名[SJR]），并描述了它们在过去十年中的变化：对 33 个科学协会的 23 种官方期刊进行了评估。8种期刊被WoS收录，11种被Scopus收录。2022 年定位最佳的期刊是1）《欧洲内科学杂志》（European Journal of Internal Medicine），在JIF、CiteScore和JCI指标中排名第一四分位（Q1），归一化特征因子和SNIP指标值超过1；2）《内科和急诊医学》（Internal and Emergency Medicine），在CiteScore和JCI指标中排名第一，归一化特征因子和SNIP指标值大于1；3) 《波兰内科学档案》，JCI 指标为第一季度；4) 《西班牙临床杂志》，JIF、CiteScore 和 JCI 指标为第二季度；5) 《比利时医学杂志》，CiteScore 和 JCI 指标为第二季度。这些期刊的影响指标在过去 3 年中与 COVID 大流行同步增长：结论：包括《Revista Clínica Española》在内的五份欧洲内科学会官方期刊符合高质量标准。
