Selection of Periodicals to Support Nanotechnology Research

Abstract

A comprehensive method for the selection of international scientific periodicals necessary for high-quality research in specific life sciences and technology problems is presented. This method is based on the analysis of citations considering both the citedeness of selected editions in specialized journals and their citing to specialized journals. A list of international journals and other periodicals that are vital for high-quality nanotechnology research was obtained. Based on this list, the development of a documentary constituent of the scientific information environment using a research library to support nanotechnology research is expected. A final list consisting of 572 items was compiled based on the application of “threshold” values and the aggregation and exclusion of data.
