Abstract: A probablistic model is applied to a contingency table with cross‐citation frequency counts between scientific journals. The parameters of the applied quasi‐symmetry model are considered to reflect size, visibility, centrality, and content‐similarity of journals. The net citation balances, i.e., the differences between model‐based expected citation frequencies and observed citation frequencies, are used to derive an interjournal “influence” score. The summed scores yield a measure of the overall influence which is compared with two other citation‐based disciplinary‐oriented methods for ranking journals in an application to a number of core journals in astronomy and astrophysics. © 1990 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
