h-index, i10-index and 2-year mean citedness are open, licence-clear metrics from OpenAlex — not a proprietary impact factor. The subject rank counts only journals that OpenAlex has a figure for; it is not a Scopus or Clarivate ranking. Updated 2026-10-14.
In its latest 84 research articles (2023–2026), authors are most often from China (22.9%), India (10.2%) and Jordan (8.9%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 144 retracted papers are recorded (56.8 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags 13 of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
