Abstract
Present work studies the role of bibliometric indicators and scientometric instruments for checking the qualities of journals published in the area of construction and building technology. Journal quality review targeted comparisons between indicators of significance and merit from reputable databases. Likewise, present work stressed on performance of well cited journals and their informational correlations as predicted by selected indicators complex algorithms. Main research objective focused on review of scientific journal quality indices that included: Journal Impact Factor (JIF), Eigenfactor Score (ES), SCImago Journal Rank indicator (SJR) and H5 index. Dependable construction and building technology journals were chosen from their category within Web of Science. JIFs and ESs are obtained from Journal Citation Report and the SJR from the SCImago Journal and country rank website. Sixty one construction and building technology journals were selected for this work and their related data records and information documents retrieved from their primary sites in relating designated quality indicators (JIF, SJR, ES and H5). Correlations between indicators were elucidated by means of Pearson's and Spearman's statistical correlations produced by SPSS software. All reclaimed journals are indexed in Web of Science and Scopus citation database.
