SJR Q1
What the numbers say
Publication volume eased while citation performance softened slightly.
Field-weighted citation impact moved from 18.83 to 17.47. If you prioritize citation reach, expect marginally lower average citedness now. The share of top-10% cited papers moved from 49.7% to 46.7%. Fewer of its articles are among the most-cited, so standout citation outcomes are somewhat rarer. Educational Leadership and Practices rose from 0.0% to 5.1% of what the journal runs. Consider submitting education-focused work if you want it to fit growing topical coverage. Authors from US went from 57.4% down to 51.3%. If you rely on strong domestic representation, note author geography is shifting outward.
