Soon approaching its 50th anniversary, Journal of Analytical Toxicology (JAT) is an international scholarly publication specializing in analytical and forensic aspects of toxicology. Science Citation Index (SCI) and Journal Citation Reports (JCR), both of which are part of the Web-of-Science (WOS) database, were used to make a bibliometric evaluation of JAT articles. Between 1977 (volume 1) and 2023 (volume 47), a total of = n = 4,785 items were published in JAT; the top-ten most highly cited articles and the most prolific authors were identified. Changes in the journal impact factor (JIF) were studied between 1997 and 2022 and this metric varied from a low of 1.24 (2006) to a high of 3.36 (2020).The most recent JIF (2022) dropped to 2.5 and the corresponding 5-year JIF was 2.6. JAT's most highly article (590 cites) was a working group (SWTOX) report dealing with methods recommended for the validation analytical methods used in forensic toxicology laboratories. JAT published 62 articles each of which were cited over 100 times and the H-index for JAT was 89. The most prolific author of JAT articles was credited with 119 items, the first in 1980 (volume 4) and the latest in 2023 (volume 47). JAT articles were cited 4,537 times in 2022 by all journals in the JCR database, although 520 of these were self-citations (11.5%). Bibliometric methods are increasingly used to evaluate the published work of individual scientists, university departments, entire universities, and whole countries. Highly cited articles are considered more influential and authoritative compared with papers that are seldom or never cited.

根据科学网引文数据库对《分析毒理学杂志》作为学术出版物的文献计量评价。

《分析毒理学杂志》(JAT) 即将迎来创刊 50 周年，是一本专门研究毒理学分析和法医学方面的国际学术刊物。科学引文索引 (SCI) 和期刊引文报告 (JCR) 都是科学网 (WOS) 数据库的一部分，用于对 JAT 文章进行文献计量评估。1977 年（第 1 卷）至 2023 年（第 47 卷）期间，JAT 上总共发表了 = n = 4,785 篇文章；确定了被引用次数最多的前十篇文章和最多产的作者。研究了 1997 年至 2022 年间期刊影响因子 (JIF) 的变化，该指标从最低的 1.24 (2006 年) 到最高的 3.36 (2020 年)。最近的 JIF (2022 年) 降至 2.5，相应的 5年 JIF 为 2.6。JAT 评价最高的文章（590 次引用）是一份工作组 (SWTOX) 报告，该报告涉及法医毒理学实验室使用的验证分析方法的推荐方法。JAT 发表了 62 篇文章，每篇被引用超过 100 次，JAT 的 H 指数为 89。JAT 文章最多产的作者被认为有 119 篇文章，第一篇于 1980 年（第 4 卷），最新的是 2023 年（第 4 卷） 47）。2022 年，JCR 数据库中的所有期刊均引用了 JAT 文章 4,537 次，其中 520 篇为自引 (11.5%)。文献计量方法越来越多地用于评估个别科学家、大学部门、整个大学和整个国家已发表的作品。与很少或从未被引用的论文相比，被频繁引用的文章被认为更具影响力和权威性。
