Abstract: 【Purpose/significance】Research on journal ranking based on the article quantity and impact factor has received little atten?
tion. The study of the characteristics of each region is helpful to understand the characteristics of each type of journals and put forward suggestions for the long-term healthy development of journals.【Method/process】Firstly, traditional regression and quantile regression were used to analyze the relationship between the article quantity and the impact factor of all journals, then the journals are classified based on the relationship between the article quantity and impact factor, and the characteristics of each region were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple comparison method.【Result/conclusion】There is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the ar? ticle quantity and impact factor; the journal classification method based on article quantity and impact factor can evaluate the quality of journals in each region: regionⅡ is the best, regionⅠis the second, regionⅣ is the third, and regionⅢ is the worst; the impact fac? tors of high article quantity journals are generally low, and most high impact factor journals have large article quantities; the journals in different regions have different strategies in article quantity and the quality of journals in different regions varies greatly.【Innova? tion/limitation】The journal ranking method can visually characterize the position of article quantity and impact factor in this field, and can also intuitively see the advantages and disadvantages of the four partitions. The periodical classification method promotes the re? search of bibliometric theory and method, and provides a new idea for broadening the periodical classification method.
