What the numbers say
More papers are appearing while average citedness has softened.
Field-weighted citation impact moved from 3.95 to 3.10. Expect that a typical paper attracts fewer citations than before, so plan visibility accordingly. Output grew sharply while citation impact fell. If your priority is high citation per paper, weigh this trend into where you submit. Acute Ischemic Stroke Management rose from 7.8% to 11.5% of what the journal runs. Submitting on acute ischemic stroke topics may match the journal's current content emphasis. Gold open access accounts for 100.0%. Your article will be openly accessible on publication, so prepare for wider immediate readership.
