21. Only those journals in which at least an average of one paper per year, or 10 papers from 1987 to 1996 are listed
22. IF is defined as the mean number of citations an "average” paper in a journal receives in the 2 years following its publication
23. The numbers in parentheses give the positions of the nine journals in this table when all journals in the subjects of these journals are ranked in order of decreasing IF
24. Although neuroscience is included in the subject categories of SCI, Turkish papers in this journal appeared in the SSCI on CD-ROM
25. This is the IF for 1992 since the International Journal of Neuroscience appears neither in SCI nor SSCI in 1995
26. This journal entered, only selectively, into the coverage of SSCI for the first time in 1996 and hence its IF value/rank are missing
