摘要采用文献计量学方法，特别是引文分析，对《国际材料研究杂志》（IJMR）及其前身《金属学杂志》（ZfM）和《国际金相学杂志》（IZfM）进行了评价。首先，讨论了各种文献数据库对期刊的覆盖率，并确定了每年的文章数量。建立了以德语和英语为原始语言的出版物的时间演变，并分析了语言依赖的影响。对最重要的作者国家进行了排名。此外，还分析了ZfM和IJMR文章的总体内容，包括物质（金属、合金、化合物）和一些主题特定术语（扩散、微观结构、再结晶、机械性能）。列出了20篇最常被引用的文章和前三篇文章的引用时间演变（引用历史）。此外，论文的引文分布的确定和与其他期刊的同时引用（共引）的数量。IJMR和ZfM文章的引用论文分析了作者和期刊最常见的国家。最后，对期刊影响因子、被引半衰期和被引半衰期作为期刊整体的文献计量指标进行了分析。讨论了广泛使用的JIF的含义，并给出了谨慎使用JIF的提示。
Abstract Bibliometric methods, in particular citation analysis, are used to evaluate the International Journal of Materials Research (IJMR) and its two predecessor journals Zeitschrift für Metallkunde (ZfM) and Internationale Zeitschrift für Metallographie (IZfM). Firstly, the coverage of the journals by the various literature databases is discussed and the number of articles per year is determined. The time evolution of the publications with respect to German and English as original languages is established and the language dependent impact is analyzed. A ranking of the most important countries of authors is given. Furthermore, the ensemble of ZfM and IJMR articles is analyzed with respect to the occurrence of substances (metals, alloys, compounds) and some subject specific terms (diffusion, microstructure, recrystallization, mechanical properties). A listing of the twenty most frequently cited articles and the citation time evolution (citation history) of the top three articles are presented. Moreover, the distribution of the citations on the articles is determined and the amount of simultaneous citations with other journals (co-citations) is given. The citing papers of the IJMR and ZfM articles are analyzed with respect to the most frequently appearing countries of authors and journals. Finally, the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), the Cited Half-Life and the Citing Half-Life as bibliometric indicators of a journal as a whole are analyzed. The meaning of the widely used JIF is discussed and hints for its careful and cautious use are given.
