What does Median FWCI mean?

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 1.68, so its typical recent paper runs about 68% above its field benchmark.

What does Top 10% Share mean?

32.2% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.

Submission to acceptance time (publication speed)

Among 52 recent articles with complete PubMed dates, the median time from received to accepted was 81 days. It includes revisions and is not the journal's time to first decision.

Publishing pattern

Publication volume and article mix

Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.
