Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine (CERM) converted its language to English only beginning with the first issue of 2011. From that point in time, one of the goals of the journal has been to become a truly international journal. This paper aims to identify the position of CERM in its scholarly journal network based on the journal's metrics.
The journal's metrics, including citations, countries of author affiliation, and countries of citing authors, Hirsch index, and proportion of funded articles, were gathered from Web of Science and analyzed.
The two-year impact factor of 2013 was calculated at 0.971 excluding self-citation, which corresponds to a Journal Citation Reports ranking of 85.9% in the category of obstetrics and gynecology. In 2012, 2013, and 2014, the total citations were 17, 68, and 85, respectively. Authors from nine countries contributed to CERM. Researchers from 25 countries cited CERM in their articles. The Hirsch index was six. Out of 88 original articles, 35 studies received funds (39.8%).
Based on the journal metrics, changing the journal language to English was found to be successful in promoting CERM to international journal status.
《临床与实验生殖医学》（CERM）从2011年第一期开始仅使用英文出版。从那时起，该期刊的目标之一就是成为一本真正的国际期刊。本文旨在根据该期刊的计量指标确定CERM在其学术期刊网络中的地位。
从科学网收集并分析该期刊的计量指标，包括被引频次、作者所属国家、引用作者所在国家、赫希指数以及受资助文章的比例。
2013年的两年影响因子（不包括自引）计算为0.971，在《期刊引证报告》妇产科类别中排名第85.9%。2012年、2013年和2014年的总被引频次分别为17、68和85。来自9个国家的作者为CERM撰稿。来自25个国家的研究人员在其文章中引用了CERM。赫希指数为6。在88篇原创文章中，35项研究获得了资助（39.8%）。
基于期刊计量指标，将期刊语言改为英文被认为成功地推动了CERM成为国际期刊。
