The Korean Journal of Parasitology (KJP) is the official journal of the Korean Society for Parasitology which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2009. To assess the contributions and achievements of the KJP, bibliometric analysis was conducted based on the citation data retrieved from 4 major databases; SCI, PubMed, Synapse, and Scopus. It was found that the KJP articles were constantly cited by the articles published in major international journals represented in these databases. More than 60% of 1,370 articles published in the KJP from 1963 to June 2009 were cited at least once by SCI articles. The overall average times cited by SCI articles are 2.6. The rate is almost 3 times higher for the articles published in the last 10 years compared to 1.0 for the articles of the 1960s. The SCI journal impact factor for 2008 is calculated as 0.871. It is increasing and it is expected to increase further with the introduction of the KJP in the database in 2008. The more realistic h-indices were measured from the study data set covering all the citations to the KJP; 17 for SCI, 6 for PubMed, 19 for Synapse, and 17 for Scopus. Synapse extensively picked up the citations to the earlier papers not retrievable from the other 3 databases. It identified many papers published in the 1960s and in the 1980s which have been cited heavily, proving the central role of the KJP in the dissemination of the important research findings over the last 5 decades.
《韩国寄生虫学杂志》（KJP）是韩国寄生虫学会的官方期刊，该学会将于2009年迎来其成立50周年。为评估KJP的贡献和成就，基于从SCI、PubMed、Synapse和Scopus这4个主要数据库检索到的引用数据进行了文献计量分析。结果发现，KJP的文章经常被这些数据库中所代表的主要国际期刊上发表的文章引用。1963年至2009年6月在KJP上发表的1370篇文章中，超过60%至少被SCI文章引用过一次。SCI文章的总体平均被引用次数为2.6次。与20世纪60年代文章的1.0次相比，过去10年发表的文章的引用率几乎高出3倍。2008年SCI期刊影响因子计算为0.871。该影响因子在不断上升，预计随着KJP于2008年被纳入该数据库，还会进一步上升。从涵盖对KJP所有引用的研究数据集中测量了更实际的h指数；SCI为17，PubMed为6，Synapse为19，Scopus为17。Synapse广泛收录了其他3个数据库无法检索到的早期论文的引用。它识别出了许多在20世纪60年代和80年代发表且被大量引用的论文，证明了KJP在过去50年重要研究成果传播中的核心作用。
