The present work is devoted to evaluation of the Ukrainian physics journals on the basis of Pareto distribution and a comparison of the present situation with that occurring five years ago. It is shown that about 20 journals may be qualified as principal ones, though the total number of the corresponding editions is equal to 63. The criteria for evaluation of Ukrainian scientific journals are formulated.

Keywords: bibliometry, science citation analysis, Ukrainian physics journals
