The scientometric indicators of scientific publications for 2025 (SJR, CiteScore, SNIP) have been updated in the Scopus citation database. Accordingly, the quartiles of the journal and the percentile were updated.
The indicators are updated once a year. The next update is planned for June 2027.
The highest percentile of the journal and the percentiles for individual subject categories (for which the publication is listed in Scopus) can be viewed in the journal’s profile (go to the Sources section and enter the journal name or ISSN in the search field).
Current: CiteScore Tracker is updated monthly. New publications in Scopus usually receive CiteScore scores one year after their inclusion in Scopus.
Clarity: (transparency, simplicity and ease of understanding): CiteScore offers full transparency of the source data, unlike JIF opacity. Anyone can check the CiteScore value by clicking on the numerator (citations) and denominator (documents).
Is free: Unlimited access (for Scopus subscribers and non-subscribers) to CiteScore does not create barriers to implementation.
