Aims and Scope
Scientometrics aims at publishing original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. The topics covered are results of research concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by means of (statistical) mathematical methods.
The Journal also provides the reader with important up-to-date information about international meetings and events in scientometrics and related fields. Appropriate bibliographic compilations are published as a separate section. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, Scientometrics is indispensable to research workers and research administrators throughout the world. It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories.
Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of research investigations together in one place, in such a form that they will be of use not only to the investigators themselves but also to the entrepreneurs and research workers who form the object of these studies.

Verified Reviews
Recently, I submitted another article and received a rejection letter after more than nine months (obviously, they still couldn't find a reviewer). One reviewer directly criticized the foundation of my work as unreliable and didn't give me a chance to explain before rejecting it.
As an editor for several journals myself, I find it difficult to find reviewers, but I usually manage to find 3 to 4 reviewers within two weeks. I don't quite understand the efficiency of Scientometrics.
