A quantifiable metric reflects the average number of citations received recently by articles published in a specific periodical specializing in cellular communication processes and precision medicine. This metric serves as a proxy for the journal’s relative importance within the scientific community. For example, a higher numerical value suggests greater influence and wider readership within the field.
This metric offers valuable insights into the journal’s standing and the potential reach of research published within its pages. It can be a critical factor for researchers deciding where to submit their work, funding agencies evaluating grant proposals, and institutions assessing research output. Historically, such metrics have evolved alongside scholarly publishing, becoming increasingly important with the rise of digital dissemination and online indexing.
