What the numbers say
Publication volume nudged up while citation standing edged higher.
Annual output went from 234 to 268 papers. If you prioritise quicker publication volume, this journal shows slightly more throughput. Field-weighted citation impact moved from 1.53 to 1.66. Expect modestly stronger citation visibility than the field average. Streptococcal Infections and Treatments rose from 0.0% to 5.1% of what the journal runs. Consider submitting on streptococcal infections now, as editorial attention to that area has grown. Recent titles increasingly carry abortusequi · varicellovirus · noseband · myeloencephalopathy · racehorses. If your work intersects those listed topics, it may fit current journal interest.
