Abstract

An analysis of journals’ rankings based on five commonly used bibliometric indicators (impact factor, article influence score, SNIP, SJR, and H-index) has been conducted. It is shown that despite the high correlation, these single-indicator-based rankings are not identical. Therefore, new approach to ranking academic journals is proposed based on the aggregation of single bibliometric indicators using several ordinal aggregation procedures. In particular, we use the threshold procedure, which allows to reduce opportunities for manipulations.

http://​www.​journalmetrics.​com/​values.​php. As of 2013 “optimized” values of SNIP (the so-called SNIP2) are published. We use older version of SNIP intentionally, since it has already been tested for a while by the academic community. The latest published data are the values for the first half of 2013. The same is to be said about SJR (see below).
