CiteScore is a metric used to measure the citation impact of academic journals. It calculates the average number of citations received in a particular year by articles published in the journal during the previous three years. This helps researchers and institutions assess the influence and quality of a journal within its field. The CiteScore is part of the Scopus database, which is a comprehensive abstract and citation database for academic literature. It provides a quick way for authors to evaluate where to publish their work and for readers to identify reputable journals in their area of study.
