What is a research design importance and types, z-library is legal you can download 70,000,000+ scientific articles for free.

Hi, about 1 year ago I did a journal ranking of PubMed journals for 2020 (all of them by month). This was based on total articles. Now that Medline is scripted I was thinking of doing a 2021 ranking but with a medline percent added. Its another way to look at medical journals. Its doable because PubMed owns the field and it would be difficult to do another topic mapping (WOS, Scopus, etc.) Its also interesting to see the differences between those in my ranking and this list. I think looking at both help give the full picture. However, using the journal name without the ID is problematic for many reasons. Is it possible to add the journal ID? I also, recently pulled out 1.8 million lines of text from PubMed abstracts to see what the top sources were for Systematic Reviews. Would like to see some articles breaking out data like this because not many (anyone) is doing it.

How is the impact factor calculated and why are they not in order of highest to lowest impact factor?

Thankyou so Much

Good one. Thanks for sharing
