• Im JG

Abstract

A journal indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information for SCI-expanded and by the National Library of Medicine for Index Medicus/MEDLINE is important to be recognized internationally. The Korean Journal of Radiology has been indexed in the database of the SCI-expanded since 2001 and Medicus/MEDLINE since 2000. The criteria for journal evaluation and selection by the National Library of Medicine include quality of editorial work, production quality, and quality of content. Most of the candidate journals contain reasonably good quality in editorial work and production. Thus, we believe that the quality of content is the most important criteria for the journal selection. To maintain a good quality of content, selection of the manuscript containing originality and scientific merits is imperative in review process. Highly selected, small number of articles per issue would be a wise editorial policy for a journal to be indexed by the well-known database.
