What the numbers say
Publication volume and citedness both rose, changing what you might expect from the journal.
Annual output went from 72 to 1,058 papers. If you prefer quicker publication cycles, this journal now publishes far more papers than before. Field-weighted citation impact moved from 2.28 to 2.89. Papers here tend to receive somewhat stronger field‑normalized citation attention than they did previously. Anesthesia and Pain Management rose from 0.0% to 9.7% of what the journal runs. If your work is on anesthesia or pain management, the journal now publishes noticeably more of that subject. Gold open access accounts for 100.0%. Expect all articles to be available openly on publication.
