Citation data from the 1980 <jats:italic>Journal Citation Reports<\/jats:italic> were used to generate a journal size\u2010independent Reading Research Impact Factor as a criterion for selecting high impact journals. References from seven citing journals were used to produce a set of 92 candidate core list journals. After four iterations, a final diverse set of 27 highly cited journals emerged including publications from reading, education, educational psychology, educational research, language, cognitive psychology, general psychology, developmental and child psychology, and experimental psychology. Six journals from the area of communication were added to complete the list. Analysis of the 10\u2010year temporal distribution of recent citations from 25 of the highly cited journals pinpointed the immediacy effect of reading research as being on the borderline between hard and soft science with such research exhibiting a strong flavor from cognate areas of psychology. Problems and limitations related to citation analyses are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.4630350605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,28]],"date-time":"2007-06-28T17:17:04Z","timestamp":1183051024000},"page":"332-343","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A review and application of citation analysis methodology to reading research journal literature"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Edward G.","family":"Summers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","volume-title":"Annual Summary of Investigations Related to Reading","author":"Johns J.
