"This paper
presents a statistical analysis of the journals and papers abstracted
in Population Index, 1984. A Bradford distribution is fitted to the
papers in all the journals regularly scanned by Population Index, as
well as in the journals specifically designated as demography. The fit
of these distributions, and in particular the second one, is remarkably
close. A core of journals for demography is identified. A breakdown
of the journals and the papers published in them by the journal's field
is presented and discussed. Data on the distribution of journals by
country of publication are also given. An attempt is made to correlate
the journal's productivity according to Population Index with the
citation impact according to Social Sciences Citation
Index."
