In its latest 90 research articles (2026), authors are most often from United States (33.8%), China (24.1%) and France (6.2%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 44 retracted papers are recorded (0.3 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags none of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
