SJR Q1
What the numbers say
Output and citation impact both declined, but top-tier papers grew in share
Annual output went from 938 to 660 papers. Consider the journal's reduced scope when choosing where to submit. Field-weighted citation impact moved from 6.78 to 3.77. Citations per paper have significantly dropped, which may affect visibility. Both output and citation impact declined. The journal's overall output and impact have declined, signaling caution. Migraine and Headache Studies rose from 0.0% to 7.8% of what the journal runs. Papers on migraine and headache may now have better fit and reception.
