2026 Journal Metrics Score

Quartiles rank journals within each OpenAlex subfield by score. Data source: OpenAlex (CC0).

Nurse Practitioner current release and quartile

Nurse Practitioner's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.9, updated August 2026 from OpenAlex citation data. The journal is ranked Q3 in this Journal Metrics record.

Use this record to check the journal title, ISSN, subfield quartile, CAS block, publisher details, and similar journals before comparing publication venues.

Current release and source check

This page is designed for exact-title searches such as Nurse Practitioner 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.
