Text Instructions ....................................................................................OR

AMA citation style requires that journal titles be abbreviated for references. Unfortunately, you don't get to make up your own abbreviations - you must use the abbreviations put forth by the National Library of Medicine. To find the correct abbreviation for a journal follows these steps:

Either Google "nlm journal catalog" or type in the URL  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals .

Type in the full title of the journal, using quotations marks at the beginning and end: "Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics"

If there is more than one title in the list, browse to find the title you are looking for. 

Once you find the correct title, find the second line below the journal title for the NLM Title Abbreviation: J Acad Nutr Diet

This is the journal title abbreviation to use for the reference citation. Note that there is no punctuation in the abbreviated title.

If the NLM Catalog does not have a record for a specific journal, simply use the entire unabbreviated title in the reference citation. For example, the NLM Catalog does not have a record for the journal  Archives of Agronomy & Soil Science , even though this journal publishes some articles on nutrition.

If you have only the abbreviation for a journal title and you need to unabbreviate it, you can likewise search the abbreviated title to get to the full title. For example a search for "J Int Soc Sports Nutr" finds the following title:

research in higher education journal abbreviation

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Academic, peer-reviewed journals that focus exclusively on higher education

Introduction

Higher education journals are, arguably, the most important repository for the outputs of higher education research. While there are many other important outputs for higher education research – such as conference or seminar presentations, reports, and monographs – the journal article represents the peak achievement and final word, as it will typically have been presented in other formats previously and will have gone through a peer review process to gain published status.

In this contribution, the focus will be on academic journals and, in particular, peer-reviewed academic journals. Popular or professional journals (such as the Chronicle of Higher Education and Times Higher Education ) will not be considered. This is not to deny the considerable value of such outlets but to limit and focus the discussion.

Further, only journals published in the...
