## What the metrics mean

*How to read journal metrics*

| Metric | What it means |
|---|---|
| 2-year mean citedness | OpenAlex's reported average citation measure for a recent two-year publication window. It is not Clarivate's Journal Impact Factor or Scopus CiteScore; databases and calculation rules differ. |
| h-index | An h-index of 7 means at least 7 indexed papers have at least 7 citations each. It covers the source's indexed publication history and favors longer, larger records. |
| i10-index | Number of indexed papers with at least 10 citations. It is a count, not an average citation rate. |
| Papers / citations in OpenAlex | Indexed works and incoming citation links across the source's record. Coverage, missing metadata and indexing delays affect both totals. |
| Rank among tracked journals | Position within this site's tracked peer set and stated metric. It is not a global journal ranking, quartile or accreditation. |

OpenAlex metrics below are not official Journal Impact Factor or CiteScore values. Any dated publisher-reported value is identified separately in the submission guide. Use the publisher's current information and the metric provider, checking the reference year. A small or new journal can have volatile citation averages; a missing value is not zero.

OpenAlex metric documentation: https://help.openalex.org/data/common-attributes/

## Choosing this journal

Before submitting, check the journal’s current aims, accepted article types, review procedure, data/code requirements, publication route and charges. Distinguish a submission fee from an open-access APC. Verify required database coverage by ISSN and year; this site’s OpenAlex metrics do not establish eligibility.

## Citation metrics

*Citation metrics (OpenAlex)*

| Metric | Value |
|---|---:|
| 2-year mean citedness | 3.97 |
| h-index | 154 |
| i10-index | 1,271 |
| Papers in OpenAlex | 1,734 |
| Citations in OpenAlex | 101,102 |
| Rank among tracked AI journals | [#34 of 41](https://scholar4ai.com/rankings/journal-metrics/ai.md) |

*Papers per year and the citations the journal's papers received that year (OpenAlex)*

| Year | Papers | Citations received |
|---|---:|---:|
| 2026 (so far) | 38 | 4,049 |
| 2025 | 49 | 6,186 |
| 2024 | 31 | 6,510 |
| 2023 | 73 | 6,515 |
| 2022 | 54 | 6,605 |
| 2021 | 68 | 7,257 |
| 2020 | 61 | 6,615 |
| 2019 | 77 | 6,227 |
| 2018 | 124 | 5,675 |
| 2017 | 82 | 4,876 |
| 2016 | 79 | 4,374 |

2-year mean citedness is the recent-publication citation average reported by OpenAlex. It is a separate metric from Clarivate's Journal Impact Factor and Scopus CiteScore, with different coverage and rules; the h-index and i10-index cover the indexed publication history. The figures come from OpenAlex (CC0) and are read again monthly; the site's build date is not the metric's reference year.

Official Journal Impact Factor (Clarivate) and CiteScore (Scopus) values and current availability are not verified here. Consult the publisher and metric provider for the applicable reference year. Journal website: https://link.springer.com/journal/10514
