作者：

Highlights：

• Using VOSviewer and Pajek, a hierarchical classification of journals is constructed.

• Social-science journals form the largest group among the nine top-level fields.

• The proposed classification offers also a research and analysis tool.

• Journal maps at different levels of granularity enable the user to zoom in and out.

• The designation of the clusters is left to the analyst.
