Abstract
An algorithmic method for selecting quality journal articles is presented. The procedures are based on formalizations of existing evaluation mechanisms in scientific publication. The method was actually applied to the journal literature of the pharmacology of cardiac arrhythmias for the period 1967 to 1970. A comparison with the selected bibliographies of four recent publications showed that the method approximated some of the selections made by conventional subjective judgment.
