ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Research background

The evaluation of journal quality is very important for researchers. Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and CiteScore (CS) are two of the most popular and authoritative journal evaluation indicators. With the ongoing scientometric research into their advantages and disadvantages, there is a consequent emergence of new journal evaluation indicators. The logical next-step is comparative judgement of the reliability and innovative novelty of such new journal evaluation indexes.

Research motivation

The recently-launched Reference Citation Analysis database of Baishideng Publishing Group is an open multidisciplinary citation analysis database founded in artificial intelligence technology. Based on this database, Journal Article Influence Index (JAII) has been proposed as a new journal evaluation indicator.

Research objectives

To compare the advantages and disadvantages of JAII with those of JIF and CS.

Research methods

For comparisons between JAII and 2021 JIF/2021 CS, we conducted statistical analyses and provided an intuitive method for visual representation of the related data.

Research results

For lower-quality journals, JAII, 2021 JIF, and 2021 CS had a good linear correlation. However, their results of assessments of higher-quality journals varied widely. These three evaluation indexes have their own advantages and disadvantages, including the avoidance of time randomness and ability for near-real time evaluation of the JAII.

Research conclusions

JAII is a comprehensive assessment tool to assess the quality and performance of journals.

Research perspectives

In the future, we hope to better explain the current existent nonlinear relationship among the three evaluation indexes, and combine a variety of journal evaluation indicators to allow for more comprehensive evaluation of journal quality by scientometric-focused and general researchers.
