What the numbers say
More papers are appearing while per‑paper citation influence has softened.
Field-weighted citation impact moved from 2.17 to 1.11. Expect lower-than-before average citedness for individual articles. Output grew sharply while citation impact fell. If you prioritize citation visibility, weigh that trend in your decision. The share of top-10% cited papers moved from 23.7% to 15.7%. Fewer articles now reach the highest citedness tier, so aim for broader dissemination if that matters. Recent titles increasingly carry hospitalist · readmission · inpatient · clinicians. If your manuscript centers on listed topics, it may align better with recent journal content.
