2-year mean citedness is OpenAlex's count of citations per paper a journal published in the two previous years, an open counterpart to the journal impact factor (which counts only Web of Science citations); the h-index and i10-index cover all its papers. The figures come from OpenAlex (CC0) and are read again monthly.

Official metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor (Clarivate) and CiteScore (Scopus) are licensed by their owners and not copied here; the publisher shows them on the journal's website. Journal website: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-human-computer-studies
