Journal Selection Models

A review is given of mathematical models applied to journal selection and decision problems. Various models are examined, analyzed, and compared. Such features as the specific decision problem examined, decision criterion; methodology employed, and data required are considered. Current research and practice are examined to predict future trends in materials selection.
