Nichani AS. State of the journal: Numerically and statistically speaking…. J Indian Soc Periodontol 2014;18:545 |
Another year has gone by since the Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology has tried to evolve, become better and create a niche for itself. In the past year, we have tried to regularise the publication of JISP, improve the quality of articles published in every issue and at the same time give JISP a better look and feel. We have also added members of ISP to the database, corrected mailing addresses, and increased the number of copies we used to print. I am also happy to inform you that we are running on time as far as the publication schedule of JISP for 2014 is concerned.
Scopus citation overview for the articles published has revealed an H index of 5 for JISP. The journal has witnessed a considerable increase in external citations, a strong growth in subscription and a strong growth in article submission until date. Analysis of journal's website visitor and details about their visits from November 2008 to till date has revealed that 462,882 people visited the website, 66.96% of the visitors were new to site and accessed www.jisponline.com for the first time. Maximum visitors were from India - 155,719, followed by USA - 43,983 and then Indonesia, UK, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, China, Turkey, Thailand and Australia respectively. Among Indian cities, Bangalore topped the list followed by New Delhi, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad and Mangalore respectively.
JISP being an open access journal; maximum reading hits have been noticed for full-text HTML version of the journal. Articles in PDF version are also preferred for reading next to only the abstract version followed by SWORD, ePub and Mobile HTML.
Going ahead, our aim would be to get indexed with Medline and then get the first impact rating by the ISI Journal Citation Report for JISP.
