At a glance

Journal decision profile

Each spoke is a 0–100 percentile within a comparable journal cohort—not a percentage grade or a single black-box rating.

Relative profile

Metrics ScoreThe raw 2026 Journal Metrics Score is the recent two-year citation average shown above. The radar converts it to a 0–100 cohort percentile: farther out means a higher score than more comparable journals. It is not a percentage grade.iSource outputThe raw rank compares lifetime output inside the journal’s leading-topic source set. The radar then compares that rank position across Decision Profile journals in the same primary OpenAlex field; when that field has too few profiles, it uses the broader profile set. Farther out means relatively more output, not better research quality.iTop 10% shareThe share of recent papers in the global top 10% for citations after comparing papers of the same type, publication year, and subfield. The radar converts that share to a 0–100 cohort percentile; it does not predict how a new paper will perform.iMedian FWCICitation performance of the middle recent paper after field, year, and work type are considered. A raw FWCI of 1.0 is the expected citation level for comparable papers; the radar shows its 0–100 cohort percentile.iOutput volumeAverage works published per year in the recent analysis window, converted to a 0–100 cohort percentile. Farther out means the journal publishes more papers; it does not mean those papers are better.i
Cost is intentionally excluded. Missing APC data is never converted to a zero-dollar fee or a fabricated cost score.

What does Median FWCI mean?

FWCI compares papers with the same publication year, type, and field. 1.0 is the world average; above 1.0 is above expectation. This journal's median is 3.43, so its typical recent paper runs about 243% above its field benchmark.

What does Top 10% Share mean?

50% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.

Publishing pattern

Publication volume and article mix

Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

What is Across Languages and Cultures' Journal Metrics Score in 2026?

Across Languages and Cultures' 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.7, from the August 2026 data release. The score is a two-year citation average computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works.

What is the acceptance rate of Across Languages and Cultures?

We have not found an official acceptance rate published by Across Languages and Cultures or its publisher, and Journal Metrics does not estimate one because submission counts are not public. To judge selectivity, compare Across Languages and Cultures' quartile and score with similar journals, or ask the editorial office.

What quartile is Across Languages and Cultures in?

Across Languages and Cultures' best quartile is Q2. By OpenAlex subfield: Q2 in Language and Linguistics; Q4 in Artificial Intelligence; Q3 in General Health Professions. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.

Is the Journal Metrics Score the same as other journal citation metrics?

No. Journal Metrics computes the score independently from OpenAlex open data. Other providers use different citation databases, document types, and counting rules, so their published figures for Across Languages and Cultures will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.

Which journals are alternatives to Across Languages and Cultures?

Comparable journals include Interpreter and Translator Trainer, Translation and Interpreting Studies, Perspectives-Studies in Translation Theory and Practice, and Translator.
