SJR Q1

What the numbers say

Publication volume is high while citation influence is steady.

Annual output went from 8,174 to 8,705 papers. If you need rapid visibility, expect many contemporaneous articles to compete for attention. Field-weighted citation impact moved from 1.06 to 1.06. Do not expect a change in average citedness from recent trends. The share of top-10% cited papers moved from 6.9% to 7.7%. Exceptional papers can still stand out, though they remain a small minority. Recent titles increasingly carry cancer · ctdna · metastatic. If your manuscript emphasizes those terms, it may match current topical interest.
