Abstract
Given a journal-to-journal citation matrix, it is straight-forward to construct measures of relative standing for the journals in the citati on network. The methodology is completely portable and can be used for citation networks where the units are national scientific communities . The new application points to the need to have a measure of standing that takes a wider citation environment into account. A new measure o f standing that does this is proposed. The new measure imposes no addi tional computational burden, making it prudent to use the measure for any citation matrix.
