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 100 research articles (2026), authors are most often from United States (30.7%), China (30.2%) and United Kingdom (5.2%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 12 retracted papers are recorded (0.6 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags 1 of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
Retractions from OpenAlex; flags from the Problematic Paper Screener (Cabanac, Labbé & Magazinov, CC BY), 2026-09-21 export. A flag marks a paper for a closer look; it is not a finding against the journal.
