Abstract
Background and aim: There is a competition between scientific journals in order to achieve leadership in their scientific field. There are several Romanian biomedical journals which are published in English and a smaller number in Romanian. We need a periodical analysis of their visibility and ranking according to scientometric measures.
Methods: We searched all biomedical journals indexed on international data bases: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar. We analyzed their evaluation factors.
Results: Several journals from Romania in the biomedical field are indexed in international databases. Their scientometric indexes are not high. The best journal was acquired by an international publisher and is no longer listed for Romania.
Conclusions: There are several Romanian biomedical journals indexed in international databases that deserve periodical analysis. There is a need to improve their ranking.
背景与目的:为了在各自的科学领域取得领先地位,科学期刊之间存在着竞争。有若干罗马尼亚生物医学期刊以英文出版,少数以罗马尼亚文出版。我们需要定期分析他们的知名度和排名,根据科学计量的措施。方法:检索Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus、Embase、Google Scholar等国际数据库收录的所有生物医学期刊。我们分析了它们的评价因素。结果:罗马尼亚多本生物医学期刊被国际数据库收录。他们的科学计量指标不高。最好的期刊被一家国际出版商收购,不再在罗马尼亚上市。结论:在国际数据库中有几本罗马尼亚生物医学期刊值得进行期刊分析。有必要提高他们的排名。
