Letters to the editor and the race for publication metrics

Stewart Manley

Summary: This article explores how letters to the editor can enhance publishing metrics for journals and authors, and examines letters published in elite journals since 2015. Initial findings reveal potential anomalies in the use of letters and unusual self-citation patterns. The article suggests adjusting the Journal Impact Factor to more fairly account for letters and advocates for transparent explanation of letter submission policies by journals.

Journal rankings and publication strategy

Piotr Spiewanowski et al.

Summary: Authors strategically choose publication outlets to maximize their publication scores, especially after the 2015 ABS journal ranking change, leading to a decrease in the likelihood of working papers being published in downgraded journals. This effect cannot be solely attributed to changes in journal quality.

Self-Citation Patterns of Journals Indexed in the Journal Citation Reports

Zehra Taskin et al.

Summary: The research found that the rankings of high-impact factor journals are not affected by self-citation rates, but for other journals, even the removal of a single self-citation can lead to significant rank changes. Self-citation patterns are common in local language journals and journals from upper-middle-income European countries. It is important to use impact factors more carefully in research performance evaluations, especially when variables such as journal size, publication language, publisher country, and subject area are correlated with self-citation rates.
