Scope

The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet covers the fields of consumer health information, patient education, and health literacy. Of interest are the practical aspects of providing programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the quality health information they need, with a focus on electronic and Internet-related information. The journal is aimed at medical and public librarians who provide health information to the general public and patients, and at librarians and health care personnel who are involved with patient education and health literacy. Research articles are of interest so long as they have practical application or lessons learned. Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that providers of health information programs and services, including librarians in all settings and health educators, be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information. To that end, this valuable journal focuses on consumer health information programs and services that help guide consumers to quality health information. Join the conversation about this journal

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
