Citation data from 2006 through 2008 were used to examine the journal citation network of Health Communication in comparison to 26 related journals indexed by Journal Citation Reports, a database published by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge. A recently advanced journal relatedness factor based on out-degree (i.e., cited journals) and in-degree (i.e., citing journals) citations was used to determine the network of peer journals. Results indicate Health Communication serves to link communication and health-related journals. Data were also reported on journal impact and 5-year journal impact factors. When compared to ISI-indexed communication journals, Health Communication is consistently ranked in the top 25% across impact factors and citations to the journal are consistent over the 7 years of analysis from 2002 through 2008. Methods of increasing the impact of Health Communication among journals in social sciences are discussed.
使用 2006 年至 2008 年的引文数据，对《健康传播》杂志的引文网络与《期刊引证报告》（Journal Citation Reports）索引的 26 种相关期刊进行了比较，后者是由科学信息研究所（Institute for Scientific Information，ISI）的 Web of Knowledge 数据库出版的。该数据库使用一种最近提出的基于出度（即被引期刊）和入度（即引用期刊）引文的期刊相关性因子来确定同侪期刊网络。结果表明，《健康传播》杂志将传播和健康相关的期刊联系起来。还报告了期刊影响和 5 年期刊影响因素的数据。与 ISI 索引的传播学期刊相比，《健康传播》在影响因素方面一直排在前 25%，并且在 2002 年至 2008 年的 7 年分析期间，该期刊的引文数量一直保持稳定。讨论了提高《健康传播》在社会科学期刊中的影响力的方法。
