Measuring the Competitive Pressure of Academic Journals and the Competitive Intensity within Subjects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A journal’s impact and similarity with rivals is closely related to its competitive intensity. A subject area can be considered as an ecological system of journals, and can then be measured using the competitive intensity concept from plant systems. Based on Journal Citation Reports data from 1997, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2013, we calculated the mutual citation, cosine similarity, and competitive relationship matrices for mycology journals. We derived the mutual citation network for mycology according to Journal Citation Reports data from 2013. We calculated each journal’s competitive pressure, and the competitive intensity for the subject. We found that competitive pressures are very variable among journals. Differences between a journal’s absolute and relative influence are related to the competitive pressure. A more powerful journal has lower competitive pressure. New journals have more competitive pressure. If there are no other influences, the competition intensity of a subject will continue to increase. Furthermore, we found that if a subject has more journals, its competitive intensity decreases. Conference Topic Journals, databases, electronic publications
