Dear Colleagues,
Greetings!

You will be glad to know that a new journal Journal of Scientometric Research (www.jscires.org) has been launched. This journal comes from SciBiolMed. Org.which has around 20 journals with 16 journals in Scopus and 1 in SCI. From the second issue onwards, it will be published with MedKnow which has merged with Kluver Health. The objective of this journal is to provide a platform for scholarship in Scientometrics and also act as an exchange between Scientometrics and other closely connected research domains i.e. Science Technology Studies, Innovation studies etc.  To attract scholars from interdisciplinary research traditions and also keeping in view that scholars within Scientometrics are themselves from heterogeneous disciplinary traditions, we have created different categories for contributions. Along with Research Paper and Review Paper, the journal has Perspective, and Commentary, Webliography and Research-in-Progress paper for providing platform to young promising researchers or scholars announcing important work in progress.
