“…Furthermore, we included in the calculation the examples encountered during scanning of the selected articles according to the definitions given in the model of Hyland and Tse for the comprising categories; as Hyland states, MDM is a meaning system with an open‐ended set of language elements. Some examples from scanned articles were:”afterwards, hence, therefore, furthermore, moreover” as transitions or:”in Table , as shown in Fig.…”

“…The ISI also publishes the annual Journal Citation Reports which determines an impact factor (IF) for each of the journals that it includes. Listing in ISI is based on some selection criteria and is an indicator of journal quality and impact . To the best of our current knowledge, there has been observed no study which has worked on the possible correlation between the use of metadiscourse markers (MDMs) and Impact Factors (IFs) of journals publishing these articles.…”

Metadiscourse markers (MDMs) are lexical resources that writers employ to organize their discourse and state their stance towards the content or the reader. This study investigated the frequency with which interactive and interactional MDMs were employed in biological research articles (RAs). It also explored the possible relationship between the frequency of these markers and Impact Factor (IF) of journals as an index of quality. Moreover, it aimed at finding out the difference(s) between two groups of authors (Iranian and American) in their use of these markers. Forty biological RAs published in years 2008-2011 written by Iranian non-native authors and published in four ISI journals with different IFs and 40 articles with the same characteristics published by American native authors were selected and examined for the use of the markers. The results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between the frequency of MDMs and IF of the journals. Regarding the frequency of MDMs, it was observed that Iranian authors employed interactive and interactional markers slightly more than their American counterparts. These results may provisionally confirm the considerable role of MDMs in enhancing the coherence and organization of articles for possible publication in high-impact journals. © 2016 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 44(4):349-360, 2016.

“…Finally, and most importantly, the new editorial team will need to continue our efforts to increase the quality of published papers. This, in turn, will allow the journal to rise in citation rankings and, ultimately, to be admitted to additional indices such as the Journal of Citation Reports, and further increase in recognition and influence (Varela, 2013).…”

This editorial statement reflects on the experience from the first five years of the European Journal of Government and Economics and proposes some broad ideas about what we believe should be the future of the journal in the following years. The developments and ideas presented here are divided in three parts: achievements and difficulties of the past five-year period, the renewal of the editorial team, and new challenges for the future.

“…Existují doklady toho, že viditelnost, která může být indikována např. mírou pokrytí určitého časopisu v bibliometrických databázích, zvyšuje citovanost [Varela 2013]. Zároveň vyšší citovanost zvyšuje viditelnost, protože o citovaném článku se dozví více výzkumníků, kteří narazí na odkaz v citujících článcích, a to vede k ještě vyšší citovanosti.…”

Total and Foreign-Journal Citedness of Sociologický časopis: The Results of a Citation Analysis

Czech Sociological Review

This citation analysis of Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review looks at the journal's total infl uence and the infl uence outside Czech(oslovak) sociology as measured by the number of citations in foreign journals. Indexed since the 1970s, SČ/CSR is the longest-covered East European sociology journal in the Web of Science. Beyond citation counts available through the WoS's Basic Search option, foreign-journal citation data were collected by examining the reference lists of all WoS-indexed foreign-journal articles listed as citing SČ/CSR in the WoS's Cited Reference Search or Google Scholar. In total, 690 foreign-journal citations of SČ/CSR between 1965 and 2013 were retrieved, including 113 author self-citations and 253 citations made by Czech and Slovak authors. Among the 690 citations, 379 are not indexed correctly in the WoS. The number of foreign citations missing from the WoS ranges from 14% for the Czech issues in 2002-2013 to 32% for the English issues in the same period. WoS is missing all 221 citations to the Czech Sociological Review between 1993 and 2001; this was a separate journal not included in the SSCI, which resulted in an important loss of international visibility for Czech sociology. In terms of perarticle-citedness by foreign journals, the English-language edition of SČ/CSR was expectably cited more often than the Czech edition. The highest foreign citation numbers were received by the English-language edition in 1993-2001, followed by the English issues in 2002-2013. The author's expanded foreign citation data set yields a very different ranking of most-cited articles from SČ/CSR than the one based on WoS citation counts, suggesting that WoS is not a reliable source of data for identifying most-cited articles. A comparison between most-cited articles by any journal and by foreign journals only indicates that different articles are infl uential nationally and internationally.
