  Psychology is a discipline standing at the crossroads of hard and social
sciences. Therefore it is especially interesting to study bibliometric
characteristics of psychology journals. We also take two adjacent disciplines,
neurosciences and sociology. One is closer to hard sciences, another is a
social science. We study not the journal citedness itself (impact factor etc.)
but the citation distribution across papers within journals. This is, so to
say, "indicators of the second order" which measure the digression from the
journal's average of the citations received by individual papers. As is shown,
such information about journals may also help authors to correct their
publication strategies.
