Selection of Serial Publications to Support Research in Nanotechnologies

A comprehensive technique for selection of the world's scientific periodicals apposite for a quality research on specific natural scientific and technical areas and based on the use of citations analysis – accounting both citedness indexes of periodicals in the selected specialized journals and their citing these selected specialized journals – has been applied in the study, which practical results are presented in the Table. A list of world journals and other serial publications has been obtained which is supposed to be applied in creating the appropriate constituent of the scientific information environment for the research in nanotechnologies. After application of “threshold” values, merging, and elimination data the final list consisted of 572 items.
