Scientometrics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The concept of a stratified journal network is advanced where the nodes are journals and the relation is citation aggregated over the articles in these journals. The standing of the journals in the network can be measured through tools based on input-output models. These measures can be used to chart the changing status of journals at different time points.
