8.3. Cite Score (Journal’s citation impact over a specific period): Yes

JOURNAL IMPACT CRITERIA:

SELF-CITATION SCORE (SHOULD BE WITHIN A PRESCRIBED RANGE COMPARED TO PEER JOURNALS):

A self-citation score should ideally be within a typical range of 10% to 20% compared to peer journals, though this can vary by field, with some disciplines showing acceptable rates between 5% and 25%. Higher self-citation rates, especially above 20%, may be seen as potentially inflated and can raise concerns about self-promotion rather than genuine merit.

TOTAL CITATION RATE (AS COMPARED WITH SIMILAR PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS):

The phrase “total citation rate (as compared with similar peer-reviewed journals)” refers to how often a journal’s articles are cited relative to the average for other journals in the same subject category or field. This comparison is essential because citation patterns and frequencies vary significantly across different scientific disciplines.

CITE SCORE (JOURNAL’S CITATION IMPACT OVER A SPECIFIC PERIOD):

CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. Absolute rankings and percentile ranks are also reported for each journal in a given subject area. Instead of this, it is calculated by dividing the number of citations received by all documents published in the journal over the last four years by the number of documents published in the same four-year period. This metric is used to assess a journal’s impact and can also show a journal’s ranking within its subject area.
