TL;DR
The research is extended to all fields of the sciences and social sciences and additional research questions concerning publication frequency and citation impact as well as their differences in individual journals and subject fields are addressed.
Abstract
In the present paper we proceed from recent results by Gonzalez-Albo and Bordons (2011) obtained from studying the role and impact of proceedings literature in LIS journals. We extend the research to all fields of the sciences and social sciences and address additional research questions concerning publication frequency and citation impact as well as their differences in individual journals and subject fields.

It is shown that in contrast to a common misbelief statistical methods can be applied to discrete "skewed" distributions, and that the statistical reliability of these statistics can be used as a basis for application of journal impact measures in comparative analyses.
