Top 100 Journals in Biology and Medicine
In conjunction with SLA’s Centennial, the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division conducted a poll to identify the 100 most influential journals of Biology & Medicine over the last 100 years:
The division was led in 2008 by Chair John Tebo, University of Cincinnati, and in 2009 by Chair Jean Crampon, University of Southern California. Three panels consisting of three experts each were recruited from the DBIO membership. Each panel composed a series of voter preference questions comparing journals in categories of biology or medicine that fell within its areas of expertise. Tony Stankus, the University of Arkansas was the recruiter of the expert teams, the arbiter of disputes over disciplinary boundaries, and final editor of the poll.
• Clinical Medicine & Allied Health Sciences expert panel: Sandy Kramer, Arizona Health Sciences Library; Patricia Thibodeau, Duke University Medical Center; and Laurie Scott, Queen’s University, Canada.
• Molecular and Cellular Biology including Journals of Biotechnology and the Leading Multiscience Publications expert panel : Steven Adams, Princeton University; Karen Tempest, CSL Limited, Australia; Mindy Thuna, the University of Toronto Mississauga, Canada.
• Natural History expert panel: Lori Bronars, Yale University; Eleanor MacLean, McGill University, Canada; Constance Rinaldo, Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.
The goal was for the final vote to yield a balanced assortment of 33 or 34 journals in each of the three areas. Tony Stankus then asked the 686 DBIO members of record, which were the 100 most influential journals in biology and medicine over the last 100 years. The winning titles are listed below. More information.
The top ten journal titles of this poll, the "DBIO Top 10,"
have been announced at the DBIO Annual Business luncheon on June 16th, 2009, during the Centennial Conference in Washington, DC. The awards were announced in an Academy Awards style presentation.
