Abstract

Bibliometric statistics concerning the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCCP) over the period 1977-1993 are reported. Compared to other journals on cross-cultural psychology, the impact factor of JCCP has been fairly high over this 17-year period. The average impact factor ofjournals publishing exclusively or mainly cross-cultural studies is stable. The overall numbers of journals that are quoted in JCCP is high, yet most references (apart from self-references) are to social psychological journals, particularly Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Journal of Social Psychology. The pattern is similar for the journals in which JCCP is quoted.
