SJR Q1
What the numbers say
More papers are appearing while average citedness per paper has declined.
Field-weighted citation impact moved from 7.54 to 3.76. If you need high citedness for evaluation, expect lower average citation performance. Output grew sharply while citation impact fell. Treat recent publication volume as a factor when timing submissions for visibility. The share of top-10% cited papers moved from 43.9% to 28.0%. Fewer papers reach top citation percentiles, so standout impact may be harder to achieve. Recent titles increasingly carry ris · isac · rsma · noma · uav. If your work uses these technical terms, your manuscript fits current topical trends.
