Below field-year expectation
of 4,490 topic-associated OpenAlex sources by lifetime output
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 0.69, so its typical recent paper runs about 31% below its field benchmark.
13.1% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.
Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

Applied Biosciences' 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 4.4, 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.
We have not found an official acceptance rate published by Applied Biosciences or its publisher, and Journal Metrics does not estimate one because submission counts are not public. To judge selectivity, compare Applied Biosciences' quartile and score with similar journals, or ask the editorial office.
Applied Biosciences' best quartile is Q1. By OpenAlex subfield: Q1 in Biochemistry; Q2 in Materials Chemistry; Q2 in Molecular Biology. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.
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 Applied Biosciences will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
