2026 Journal Metrics Score

1.7

Updated August 2026 · 2-year citation average from OpenAlex data

The Journal Metrics Score is the two-year mean citedness of a journal, 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. Quartiles rank journals within each OpenAlex subfield by score. Data source: OpenAlex (CC0).

That helps avoid mixing this journal with a similarly named title, abbreviation, society series, or outdated metric snippet.

Current release and source check

This page is designed for exact-title searches such as Journal of Physics B-Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics journal metrics. First confirm that the ISSN and title match this record before using the metric in a journal shortlist or submission decision.

For high-stakes submission decisions, verify the title against the publisher record at the journal homepage, the journal's open catalog record (View on OpenAlex), and the context in our methodology. Treat the subfield quartile, article volume, and similar journals as supporting context rather than a single-number publication decision.
