At the same time, the authors systematically construct a journal evaluation indicator system from three dimensions. Then, the indicators data of three dimensions are evaluated by normalized processing, correlation analysis, reliability and validity analysis, PCA and factor analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses can exactly provide some useful information for academic journals\u2019 location in the respective coordinate systems. There are strong positive correlations among the measured indicators in the three dimensions, and each indicator has a significant consistency between whole and internal. The correlation coefficient between FD1 and FD2 is 0.888 with a strong positive correlation. It shows that the traditional citation indicators provided by WoS and Scopus database are highly consistent, and they are comparable and alternative in evaluating the academic impact of journals. The correlation coefficients of FD1, FD2 with FD3 are 0.831 and 0.798. There are strong positive correlations among them, which indicate that the evaluation of journals\u2019 societal impact based on altmetrics indicator can be considered as a potential supplement to academic impact evaluation based on citation and to reflect the multidimensional nature of journals impact in an immediate way.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Multidimensional and multi-indicator perspective evaluation can provide references for the selection of impact evaluation indicators and model optimization of academic journals, and also provide new ideas for improving the status of the impact evaluation of academic journals.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/lht-03-2019-0067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,2]],"date-time":"2019-08-02T10:21:00Z","timestamp":1564741260000},"page":"458-478","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Research on impact evaluation of academic journals from multidimensional perspective"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Rongying","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2020061114432987200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1087\/20130103","article-title":"Altmetric: enriching scholarly content with article-level discussion and metrics","volume":"26","year":"2013","journal-title":"Learned Publishing"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2020061114432987200_ref002","first-page":"213","article-title":"Introducing altmetrics to the Journal of the Medical Library Association","volume":"105","year":"2017","journal-title":"Journal of the Medical Library Association"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2020061114432987200_ref003","first-page":"1320","article-title":"Comparing bibliometric statistics obtained from the web of science and Scopus","volume":"60","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology"},{"key":"key2020061114432987200_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"872","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.24162","article-title":"Investigating familiarity and usage of traditional metrics and altmetrics","volume":"70","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology"},{"issue":"9","key":"key2020061114432987200_ref005","first-page":"1","article-title":"Identifying anomalous citations for objective evaluation of scholarly article impact","volume":"11","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2020061114432987200_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"895","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joi.2014.09.005","article-title":"Do altmetrics point to the broader impact of research?
