Journal Rankings
Did you know in the category of "Sports Sciences" there are 92 periodic (presumably peer-reviewed) journals? "Nutrition and Dietetics" rakes in 77. Are all of them trustworthy? If you know anything about some certain journals and their representing companies, you would know not to trust every journal, nor every article in all journals. How can you tell which journals are better than others? Take a look at these two websites:
These two websites, in conjunction with each other, will provide you with a good amount of data on the trustworthiness of particular journals and their rankings among journals in the same field. For Journal-Ranking, exercise related journals will be listed under "Sport Science" and nutrition will be under "Nutrition and Dietetics". Once you find a journal of interest, head over to Eigenfactor to get a second viewpoint and to view the cost effectiveness of that journal. Eigenfactor has some cool graphs, but it was pretty hard to get to the fields that I was interested in, but they were certainly eye popping and informative!
