Abstract:

A set of Czech journals from the field of natural sciences indexed in WOS (JCR) in the period of 1998-2005 was analyzed. The number of titles (20-22) in individual years and their selection were relatively stable. In the examined group of journals, the year of their initial inclusion in WOS was determined, the number of Czech titles was compared with that of titles from other countries, and their classification into subject categories of WOS (JCR) was analyzed. Comparison of journals IF with the IF median of corresponding categories of WOS (JCR) revealed that even a relatively low value of the journal IF did not necessarily mean a lower level within the given category. Some erroneous data concerning Czech journals according to the territory were found and described. The title of one of Czech journals, ROSTLINNA VYROBA, was changed to PLANT SOIL ENVIRONMENT. However, after a two-year transient period, when both titles were included in the database, they were both deleted in 2005 even though this journal still meets criteria for indexing in WOS.
