Abstract
A citation analysis of core library and information science journals was conducted to identify factors associated with subjective rankings of a journal's value in promotion and tenure decisions.

A study of the perceived prestige of a core group of library journals by directors of ARL libraries and library school deans reveals a prestige hierarchy for each group, although in rough agreement on the rating of two-thirds of the journals.

Analysis indicates that source of cited work, source of citing work, number of times a work is cited in text, and type of citing article show promise of predicting relatedness between citing and cited works.

Methods of quantitative analysis are applied to analyse critically the principles of ranking journals in package 1 and the tabular contents of JCR's packages 2 and 3, as well as to study frequency distributions of the journals both in time and space.

A measure of the relative standing of professional journals in an aggregated journal citation matrix is considered and can be viewed as an iteration of inputoutput methods or as a normalized eigenvector of a transformation matrix.

A canon of decreasing usefulness is invoked to determine journal priorities and to formulate guidelines for selection, and the highest priority should be given to those journals which are highly cited, abstracted, and used.

Multiple regression models can be used to rank physics journals in approximately the same order as the journals are perceived useful by actual users, and it appears likely that good models of this type can be developed for many other disciplines.
