Comparison of Quartile Scores of Mycology Journals Covered by Web of Science and SCImago SCOPUS Databases

Year 2021, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 209 - 217, 31.10.2021

Abstract

Millions of papers are published in scientific journals every year. For example, 3,194,821 papers were published only in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection Database in 2020. However, the citation rates, h index and Q scores of journals are different from each other. While important scientific results are published in some journals, which are the basis of the literature, other journals may be weak and their citation rates may low. The data used in this study are taken from Clarivate Analytics Web of Science and SCImago SCOPUS databases. In this study, we tried to take attention some data about Q scores of scientific journals. The Q scores of scientific journals have become important in academic appointments in Turkey and also become one of the quality indicators of journals. For this purpose, some data of 30 mycology journals were taken from Clarivate Analytics Web of Science and SCImago SCOPUS databases. Q scores, h index, impact factor scores and some other data of these mycology journals were given in table and analyzed. While there are 8 journals in the Q1 category covered by Web of Science, there are 20 journals in the Q1 category covered SCImago SCOPUS. This is due to the different number of journals and subject categories in both databases. Among 30 mycology journals, Fungal Diversity was the journal with the highest impact factor and Q1 category with 15.39 in the year of 2019. The journal with the highest h index score is Mycologia with a score of 128. In addition, number of papers with Turkey addressed published in 30 mycology journals are given (790 publications, 638 full article) in this study.

Web of Science ve SCOPUS Veritabanları Kapsamında olan Mikoloji Dergilerinin Q Değerleri Analizi

Year 2021, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 209 - 217, 31.10.2021

Abstract

Her yıl bilimsel dergilerde milyonlarca yayın çıkmaktadır. Örneğin 2020’de Sadece Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection Veritabanında 3,194,821 yayın çıkmıştır. Ancak dergilerin atıf alma oranları, h indeks ve Q değerleri biribirinden farklıdır. Önemli bilimsel sonuçlar literatürün temeli olan bazı dergilerde yayınlanırken, diğer dergiler daha zayıf kalabilmekte ve atıf oranları da düşük olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kullanılan veriler, Clarivate Analytics Web of Science ve SCImago SCOPUS veritabanlarından alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada, bilimsel dergilerin Q değerleriyle ilgili bazı verilere dikkat çekilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bilimsel dergilerin Q değerleri, Türkiye’de akademik atamalarda önemli hale gelmiş ve ayrıca dergilerin kalite göstergelerinden biri olmuştur. Bu amaçla 30 mikoloji dergisinin bazı verileri, Clarivate Analytics Web of Science ve SCImago SCOPUS veritabanlarından alınmıştır. Bu mikoloji dergilerinin Q, h indeks, etki faktörü değerleri ve diğer bazı veriler tablo halinde verilip analiz edilmiştir. Web of Science kapsamında Q1 kategorisinde 8 dergi varken, SCImago SCOPUS kapsamında Q1 kategorisinde 20 dergi vardır. Bu durum, her iki veritabandaki dergi sayısının ve konu kategorilerinin farklı olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. 30 mikoloji dergisi içinde Q1 kategorisinde olan ve impact factor değeri en yüksek dergi, 2019 yılında 15.39 ile Fungal Diversity olmuştur. h indeks değeri en yüksek olan dergi ise 128 değeri ile Mycologia’dır. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada 30 mikoloji dergisinde çıkan Türkiye adresli yayın sayıları da verilmiştir (790 yayın, 638 tam makale).

The works submitted to our journals are first judged grammatically. After this phase, articles are sent two reviewers. If necessary, the third reviewer is assessed. In the publication of works, a decision is made by evaluating the level of contribution to science and readers within the criteria specified in the writing rules. Reviewers are requested to submit their assessments within 30 days at the latest. The reviewers' evaluations and the answers to these evaluations are reviewed by the editor and it is decided whether the work will be published or not.
