… and which journals have the most?
I had software citations on my mind all last week, as the 3rd Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE3) was held last Monday and Tuesday in Boulder, CO, and I spent a good bit of my time there in the work group for Hacking the credit and citation ecosystem (making it work, or work better, for software). This made me curious as to which journals have citations to ASCL entries, and which have the most citations to ASCL entries. I was pretty sure I knew the answer to the latter, but it’s always good to test what one knows. So I went looking, and this what I found…
These three journals and arXiv hold 84% of citations to ASCL entries:
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
The Astrophysical Journal
ArXiv e-prints
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Other publications with citations to the ASCL include:
| The Astronomical Journal Astronomy and Computing The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology Computer Physics Communications Galaxies Icarus Journal of Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics Journal of Physics Conference Series |
Journal of Physics G Nuclear Physics The Messenger Physical Review C Physical Review D Physical Review Letters Physics Uspekhi Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica |
Proceedings, too, including:
| 18th European White Dwarf Workshop 19th European Workshop on White Dwarfs Astronomical Society of India Conference Series Asymmetrical Planetary Nebulae VI Conference |
EAS Publications Series IAU Symposium SF2A-2014: Proceedings of the Annual meeting of the French Society of Astronomy and Astrophysics Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) Conference Series |
I appreciate ADS all over again for making it possible to compile this information so quickly.
