editors from the USA and Canada, respectively. International Small Business Journal has the highest percentage of European editors (71.4 percent), and Electronic Commerce: Research and Applications has the highest percentage of editors from the “all other” regions (20.6 percent). Overall, as shown in Table IV, there is slightly more balance among the three geographic regions for editors and editorial board members of the benchmark journals.
The fourth criterion used by Thomson Reuters requires investigation of the number of times a journal and its authors and editors have been cited in Web of Science, along with an examination of the journal’s self-citation rate. Table IV presents the number of times each journal was cited in Web of Science in 2007 and 2008. Two measures were recorded: number of individual articles from the journal that were cited and total number of citations received. For both years and both measures, results were higher for the SCML journals. In 2007, 17.0 percent more individual articles from the SCML journals than from the benchmark journals were cited; in 2008, 20.8 percent more individual articles were cited. Looking at the total number of citations received, the SCML journals were cited 21.0 percent more than the benchmark journals in 2007 and 7.1 percent more in 2008. For the period 2007-2008, the SCML journals had 19.1 percent more individual articles cited and received 12.9 percent more total citations. Note from Table II that this occurred in spite of the fact that the SCML journals published fewer articles during this period. Therefore, as can be seen in Table V, the SCML journals outperformed the benchmark journals on this element of the fourth criterion.
The next part of the fourth criterion involves the productivity and influence of the authors of the articles in each journal. Six randomly selected authors from each journal were searched in Web of Science to discover how many articles were included and how
