Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

Median correlations between Polish/Finnish/Norwegian journal ranks and either JQFs or journal citation rates (JCRs) for all Scopus broad fields except Multidisciplinary and Decision Sciences. Each field is represented by up to 100 monodisciplinary journals with a random sample of 100 articles each. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
