We aim to lessen the reliance on the journal impact factor as a promotional tool. See details on our support of DORA
Instead, we present a diverse range of journal-based metrics, including the 5-year impact factor, EigenFactor, SCImago, h-index, and editorial and publication times, to offer a more comprehensive assessment of journal performance.
These recent updates reflect the journal's stable position across core databases and demonstrate steady growth in our long-term citation impact, particularly evidenced by the continuous rise in our h-index and CiteScore.
