Eigenfactor.org scores the importance of scientific journals to their community. For example
Bazant's papers were published in "Journal of Engineering Mechanics ASCE" , a journal with "Article Influence" score of 77.30 .
Scientific American , 79.90
Jones' "Bentham Open" journal has "No results found" out of 7,000 journals reviewed.
That's because the database only goes up to 2006 and Bentham Open seems to have been launched in 2007. But that was a good find because even as a traditional publisher Bentham was middling.

You have to pay to access all similar databases that I know of. Does anybody here know about free ones that are more current? Or alternately does anyone have acesses to the paiddatabases? I'm sure Bentham's journals are lowly rated but am not willing to subscribe to a database just to check.
Suggestion to a mod, can the posts about Bentham be moved to a more appropriate thread?
