The JCE publication history exceeds 600 peer reviewed cancer education articles. Two methodological approaches were used for a retrospective perspective of JCE quality: Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and Citation Analysis (CA). The Journal Impact Factor comparison included only medical or health journals with an educational focus. Citation Analysis was conducted to identify attributes of most cited JCE articles and their cancer education focus. Despite concerns in the literature about the merits of both methods, results provided useful insights about JCE quality. Results will guide quality improvement plans and assist authors interested in publishing their cancer education research results in the JCE.
《癌症教育杂志》(JCE)的出版历史包含600多篇经过同行评审的癌症教育文章。我们采用了两种方法从回顾性角度审视JCE的质量:期刊影响因子(JIF)和引文分析(CA)。期刊影响因子比较仅纳入了以教育为重点的医学或健康期刊。进行引文分析以确定被引用次数最多的JCE文章的属性及其癌症教育重点。尽管文献中对这两种方法的优点存在担忧,但结果为JCE的质量提供了有用的见解。这些结果将指导质量改进计划,并帮助有兴趣在JCE上发表其癌症教育研究成果的作者。
