Abstract

The use of two Philippine fisheries journals—the Fisheries Research Journal of the Philippines (FRJP) and Kalikasan, the Philippine Journal of Biology (fisheries articles only)—in the international scientific literature, from 1972 to 1991, is investigated. The study, which is based on citations in SCISEARCH computer database of the Institute of Scientific Information, yielded 59 citations to FRJP and 42 to Kalikasan. The average citation was 7.5 years. Self-citation rates are 17% for FRJP and 12% for Kalikasan. Both journals had low impact outside of the Philippines.
