Abstract

Category "Thermodynamics" was established in 1993 within SCI-E, starting with 25 journals, with only 55 journals in 2014, which is an increase of more than two times for the period observed. It is ranged as a category within SCI-E in 2014 according to number of journals on 100 position, from total 176 categories. This paper presents Part 5 of article series of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis for category "Thermodynamics" within SCI-E, in which bibliometric indicators are analyzed: Immediacy Index (II), Cited Half-Life (CHL) and Citing Half-Life (CngHL) for this category for the period 1993-2014. This analysis shows that journal: Progress in Energy and Combustion Science have by far the highest II and MII in this category and this period.Abbreviations:
