¹The journal impact factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year.
²The immediacy index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal immediacy index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited.
³Total number of articles published in the journal in the JCR year.
⁴The median age of the articles that were cited in the JCR year. Half of a journal's cited articles were published more recently than the cited half-life.
