Application of overlapping technique in selection of scientific journals for a particular discipline — methodological approach

摘要

A general approach to the selection of scientific journals in a particular discipline is proposed. The procedure is based on multiplicity principle; amalgamation of various methods for journal selection includes a number of data sources of different types: of international and regional origin. By application of overlapping technique combined with the ranking of the data sources according to their relative weights, the lists of nucleus journals for specific disciplines can be provided. The model operates without journal ranking.
