A comparison of journal similarity across six disciplines using citing discipline analysis

作者：

Highlights：

• We examine how citing journal disciplines may be used to model journal similarity.

• WoS Research Areas are used to represent citing journal disciplines.

• Six disciplinary areas (five related, one more distant) are studied.

• Multidimensional scaling and Principal Component Analysis outcomes reveal coherent groups.

• The presented method offers a complementary approach to co-citation analysis.
