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 1.45, so its typical recent paper runs about 45% above its field benchmark.
26.2% 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.

2026 Journal Metrics Scores for 13 of 129 Frontiers journals published by Frontiers Media, highest score first. Each journal is scored separately; there is no combined score for the Frontiers family.
Source: the current OpenAlex source record. OpenAlex works can include multiple work types. Fully Open Access is a source-level flag. Recent OA Works is summed from OpenAlex's counts_by_year series (up to the latest ten years); it is not a lifetime OA percentage. Any APC shown here is an indicative OpenAlex value—verify current charges on the journal's official website.
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 4.6, 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.
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience's best quartile is Q1. By OpenAlex subfield: Q1 in Psychiatry and Mental health; Q1 in Physiology; Q1 in Cognitive Neuroscience; Q1 in Neurology. 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 Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience accepts papers a median of 90 days after submission across 100 recent PubMed records with both dates; the middle half took 51–121 days. This includes peer review, editorial handling, and revisions.
PubMed records when a manuscript was received and accepted, not the individual review stages, so peer review time on its own is not available. The full time from submission to acceptance at Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, which includes peer review and revisions, has a median of 90 days. For the time to a first decision, check the journal's own website.
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience's median of 90 days from submission to acceptance is faster than 69% of comparable journals with PubMed timing data.
