H index of Sports Science Journals according to Google Scholar Metrics (2013-2017)

Abstract

Since the launch of Google Scholar Metrics (April 2012), the number of journals that include this bibliometric evaluation system has been growing. However journals are only sorted by languages and topics with a top limit. In the first case Google Scholar Metrics only shows the 100 journals with the greatest impact; then it only shows the 20 journals with the greatest impact by topic, which are measured using the H index. In order to overcome this limitation, and using various search procedures, the objective of this report is to provide an update of the ranking for all those communication journals indexed in Google Scholar Metrics.
