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.
Official Journal Impact Factor and CiteScore values/status are not verified on this page. 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.

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 →
Open-access status as OpenAlex reports it for each paper (diamond: published in an open-access journal that charges authors no fee; gold: published in an open-access journal; hybrid: open under a licence in a subscription journal; bronze: free to read on the publisher's site without an open licence; green: only a free copy in a repository; closed: no free copy found). Papers count by publication year; the share is of the papers whose status is known.
