Methods of Information in Medicine is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in medical informatics. It is an official journal of the International Medical Informatics Association, the European Federation for Medical Informatics, and the . It is the oldest and longest running journal in its field.[1]
Abstracting and indexing[]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in:
- Current Contents/Clinical Medicine[2]
- Embase/Excerpta Medica[3]
- EmCare
- Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed[4]
- Science Citation Index[2]
- Scopus[5]
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had a 2014 impact factor of 2.2.[6] In 2015 the journal did not receive an impact factor as it was delisted because of citation stacking.[7] The 2016 impact factor subsequently fell to 1.8 [8] and in the 2018 release of JCR 2017 fell further to 1.5.[9]
The editors of Methods of Information in Medicine and the other journal involved, published a rebuttal in an editorial in both journals.[10][11] The president and publication officer of the European Federation for Medical Informatics also commented on this matter.[12] Phil Davis visualized the citation cartel pointing out that Lehmann and Haux (the editors of the two journals) produced a total of 4 papers in 2014 and 2015 that excessively cited each other's journal articles for the impact-factor relevant years.[13]
