The vast majority of journals contain relatively few MI-MeSH articles.
In 1987 and 2006 there were 1,272 and 9,973 MI-MeSH articles, respectively.
The total number of medical informatics MeSH-indexed (MI-MeSH) articles retrieved for the 20-year period was 77,023.
Only 35 journals were needed to represent one third (25,661) of the total 77,023 published MI-MeSH articles.
Journals such as these intermittently publish greater than twenty MI-MeSH articles in a year, thus creating the spikes in the un-weighted impact factor value.
We searched ISI Journal Citation Reports to identify journal impact factor ratings for each journal publishing twenty or more MI-MeSH articles (20+MI Journals) for each year during the period.
Growth in the number of journals publishing MI-MeSH articles increased over the 20 year period from 500 to 1578, however this growth curve was more conservative than the number of articles.
Although a third of the medical informatics output can be found in less than 1% of the journals, there are still more than 100 different journals which publish more than 20 MI-MeSH articles per year.
We found that each MI-MeSH article in the study corpus was assigned between 1 and 27 MeSH headings as Major Topics.
Additional searches were also conducted to include the not yet MeSH indexed articles.
Journals publishing 20 or more MI-MeSH indexed articles per year were identified for each of the given years.
