" the first major scientific journals were produced in the 17th century, namely the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London and the Journal des Scavans, both beginning in 1665. Many early journals were associated with scientific societies, and the production of a journal became an important aspiration of any serious scientific organization..." Source:Miller, D. P. (2000).

With the introduction of printing into Europe in the middle of the 15th cent. (see type), bookpublishing sprang into lively existence. The author, the printer, and the publisher of a work were sometimes all the same person, as in the case of members of the Estienne family in France in the 16th cent. Source:Book publishing.. (2016).

The Eigenfactor Score calculation is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also considers which journals have contributed these citations so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactor Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation.
