What the numbers say
More papers are appearing but average citedness has softened.
Field-weighted citation impact moved from 1.28 to 1.18. expect slightly lower average citation visibility per paper compared with earlier periods. Output grew sharply while citation impact fell. if you need high citation reach for each article, treat this as a consideration. Testicular diseases and treatments rose from 6.5% to 9.2% of what the journal runs. submitters working on testicular conditions may find a more receptive topical match. Authors from TR went from 9.2% to 16.5%. there is growing representation from authors in that country, so regional networks may be more visible.
