问题     It is understandable that publishers are concerned that their journals are selected by ISI for inclusion in its database. Indeed, it is sometimes argued that the survival of a particular journal depends on ISI’ s decision to cover it in Current Contents. A journal’s ultimate success depends upon its quality, distribution, and many other competitive factors including cost and timeliness. Any one of these factors, including coverage by ISI, can make the difference between success and failure.
    A journal’s reputation may not tell the complete story about its impact on the scholarly community. In fact, a study on social science journals suggests quite the opposite. Their research showed that there is a nonlinear relationship between a journal’s reputation and its impact, especially at the extremes of the prestige scale. They conclude that citation data "permit scholars to evaluate the importance of journals based not on Opinion but on the frequency of citations" and that "frequency of citation implies scholarly acceptance, or at least acknowledgment of importance through utilization of others’ work." The researchers go on to mention that "journals have prestige, but their prestige is only derived from the usefulness of the articles they publish."
选项
答案 出版商们很关切自己的期刊是否能被国际统计协会纳入其数据库，这是可以理解的。实际上，有时人们会争论说一本特定的期刊是否能长存取决于印度学会国际统计协会是否将它纳入当前目录。一本期刊最终的成功取决于它的质量，销售以及诸如价钱，时宜之类的竞争性因素。这些因素中的任何一项，包括国际统计协会的报道等，都能够影响期刊的成败。 期刊的名声可能并不能完全反映出它在学术界的影响。实际上，关于社会科学期刊的一项研究结果恰恰与人们的想法(享誉程度越高，影响越大)相反。该研究表明，期刊的声誉与其影响间有着一种非线性关系，尤其是在影响力范围方面。他们认为资料引用允许学者估量一种期刊的重要性时不是根据期刊的观点而是根据期刊被引用的频率，引用的频率显示出期刊的学术接纳程度，或者他人的引用至少是对其重要性的一种认可。研究人员随后又进一步指出“期刊具有影响力，但它们的影响力仅仅源自他们所出版的文章的有用性。”
