Hottest Journals of the Millennium (so far)
http://www.sciencewatch.com/jan-feb2005/sw_jan-feb2005_page1.htm

Science Watch now presents an updated collection of journal rankings, based on a special subset of Essential Science Indicators (ESI) data covering the last six years, reflecting papers published and cited in Thomson-indexed journals between January 1999 and August 2004. Below, are tables listing the top 10 journals in 11 main fields, ranked by impact (the order is determined by each journal’s cites-per-paper score prior to rounding). This survey, like its predecessor, adheres to the ESI definition of "papers" as regular scientific articles, review articles, proceedings papers, and research notes. Letters to the editor are excluded, as are correction notices and abstracts. The fields covered in ESI (22 in all, half of which are represented here) are defined by groupings of Thomson-indexed journals, with no journal assigned to more than one field. As was the case last time, Science Watch elected to scrutinize the ESI journal rankings and leave out those journals that exclusively publish review articles. Reviews, of course, as convenient summaries of past research, tend to be highly cited—as is the case, subsequently, with review journals. The present rankings reflect journals that primarily publish discovery accounts and other original research. The rankings are also confined to journals that published continuously during the six-year period, from January 1999 to August 2004. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
