The total number of times a paper is cited, also known as the impact factor (IF) of a medical journal, is widely implied in evaluating the quality of a research paper. We evaluated the citation index data as an IF of Korean J Pediatr in Korean Medical Citation Index (KoMCI) and JCI of Web of Science.
We calculated the IF of Korean J Pediatr at KoMCI supervised by Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors. And we estimated the IF of Korean J Pediatr by the JCI of Web of Science although it was never officially reported.
The IF of Korean J Pediatr on KoMCI has increased from 0.100 in the year 2000, to 0.205 in 2008, and 0.326 in 2009. Although the IF of Korean J Pediatr was 0.006 in 2005, 0.018 in 2006, 0.028 in 2008, 0.066 in 2009, and 0.018 in 2010 according to the JCI of Web of Science, the number of citations are steadily increasing.
Understanding and realizing the current status will be a stepping stone for further improvement. The next objective of the Korean J Pediatr is to become registered in the SCI or SCIE. Increasing the IF according to the JCI of Web of Science is crucial in order to achieve this goal.
一篇论文被引用的总次数，也称为医学期刊的影响因子（IF），在评估研究论文质量时被广泛提及。我们在韩国医学引文索引（KoMCI）和科学网的期刊引证报告（JCI）中评估了《韩国儿科学杂志》的引文索引数据作为其影响因子。
我们计算了由韩国医学期刊编辑协会监管的KoMCI上《韩国儿科学杂志》的影响因子。并且我们通过科学网的JCI估算了《韩国儿科学杂志》的影响因子，尽管它从未被官方报道过。
《韩国儿科学杂志》在KoMCI上的影响因子从2000年的0.100增加到2008年的0.205以及2009年的0.326。根据科学网的JCI，《韩国儿科学杂志》在2005年的影响因子为0.006，2006年为0.018，2008年为0.028，2009年为0.066，2010年为0.018，但其被引次数在稳步增加。
了解和认识当前状况将是进一步改进的垫脚石。《韩国儿科学杂志》的下一个目标是被收录进科学引文索引（SCI）或科学引文索引扩展版（SCIE）。为实现这一目标，根据科学网的JCI提高影响因子至关重要。
