SJR Q1
What the numbers say
Publication volume has risen while per‑paper citation influence softened.
Annual output went from 381 to 631 papers. If you need faster publication throughput, this journal now publishes more papers than before. Field-weighted citation impact moved from 1.99 to 1.80. Expect slightly lower average citation reach per article compared with its earlier level. Colorectal Cancer Surgical Treatments rose from 0.0% to 2.9% of what the journal runs. Consider submitting colorectal surgery imaging work now that the journal runs more of those papers. Recent titles increasingly carry radiomics · mri · defecography · pericoronary. If your manuscript uses radiomics or advanced MRI terminology, it matches growing title trends here.
