Below field-year expectation
of 6,643 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 0.54, so its typical recent paper runs about 46% below its field benchmark.
11% 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.

A lower-cited Q4 journal by citation data
By citation data, Excli Journal is in the lowest quartile in Civil and Structural Engineering and 3 other subfields and ranks #3,692 of 3,811 Engineering journals by Journal Metrics Score (top 97%). A Q4 placement means its papers are cited less than most in the subfield; on its own it does not mean the journal is predatory or that its peer review is weak. Excli Journal's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.0. Recent papers took a median of 54 days from submission to acceptance, according to PubMed dates. OpenAlex classifies its papers in subfields including Civil and Structural Engineering, Biochemistry, and Education, so check that your topic fits its scope.
