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 61 research articles (2022–2026), authors are most often from United Kingdom (39.1%), Spain (18%) and United States (9.6%).
