CiteScore

CiteScore is a metric used to measure the average number of citations received by articles published in a specific academic journal over a three-year period. It reflects the journal's influence and prestige in its field, indicating how often the research published there is referenced by other scholars. A higher CiteScore suggests that the journal’s articles are frequently cited, signaling they are likely to have a significant impact on ongoing research. This helps researchers choose where to publish their work and academics to identify credible sources in their studies.
