Summary, etc. <p>Impact Factor (IF) is a popular bibliometircs and scientometrics tool for assessing the <br />performance of scholarly journals. But there are many national journals from developing and <br />under developing countries which are not indexed by SCI and are without IF. National journals <br />play a vital role for a country. It is suggested that the performance of a journal cannot be <br />measured by a single indicator. Diffusion of information is a basic notion of publications and <br />citations. So diffusion study has been used to measure the influence of a journal. In this study <br />two Indian non-SCI medical journals, viz., Indian Journal of Cancer and Journal of Communicable <br />Diseases were selected for diffusion measure. New JDF and equivalent IF is calculated using <br />citations data. Data is collected from Elsevier’s SCOPUS database for the period of 2001-<br />2010. It is found that there is improvement in Diffusion factors for both journals, but there <br />is significant rise for Indian Journal of Cancer.As Journal of Communicable Disease is cited by <br />more number of countries than Indian Journal of Cancer, so the former is more international <br />in nature. Generally they have published papers mostly from India, but number of foreign <br />authored papers has been increased in IJC. Open access of IJC may be one of the factors for <br />better performance.</p>
