neutral  Francis Lee (X): this is confusingly phrased
2 mins
  -> how so?

agree  MMUlr: or "largest circulation, highest frequency journal" - and Fach- IMO professional journal or professional serial
15 mins
  -> could also be trade journal - which is why I was hedging my bets

agree  Textklick: With MMUlr, but -' special interest publication' (could be for lawyers, plumbers or kids)

12 mins

neutral  MMUlr: if you choose this phrase, how could you diffentiate between circulation and audience/readers figures? (Leser-Werte) //readership seems to be correct. .. s. also Christine's question for Leserwerte.
16 mins
  -> ...with (the best) readership figures (You like?)

neutral  Colin Newberry: You might call the "Fachpublikation" a "trade journal".
21 mins
  -> specialist/academic journal etc are also options, depending on the Fach you're talking about

...which appears more often and has a bigger circulation than any of its competitors…


Explanation:
The specialist magazine which appears more often and has a bigger circulation than any of its competitors…
A comparative rather than superlative construction becomes possible by mentioning 'the competitors'.
