UrduHere’s a breakdown of the good news:
- First-time scores: 3 journals received their first-ever CiteScore, a significant milestone for the teams behind these publications. Congratulations to JMIR Perioperative Medicine, JMIR Nursing, and JMIR Bioinformatics and Biotechnology for their debut! JMIR Nursing in particular earned a Q1 ranking from the outset.
- First quartile performance: Of the 23, over half of the titles (12 journals) ranked within the first quartile (Q1) in their fields, with half of those ranking even higher, in the top 10% of their discipline (marked with * below). This achievement emphasizes the influential role these JMIR Publications’ journals play in advancing research in their respective fields. Our Q1 journal performance according to Scopus CiteScore 2023 results include:
- Journal of Medical Internet Research* (Q1 95%, 7/138; Health Informatics)

- Year-over-year growth: Over three quarters or 18 journals saw their CiteScore increase year over year—an impressive feat!
“While absolute changes year over year of CiteScore, Impact Factor, and other citation metrics are still a result of changing citation patterns during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we are incredibly proud of our top rankings relative to other journals within the various disciplines,” commented Gunther Eysenbach, MD, MPH, FACMI, publisher and executive editor of JMIR Publications. “To have half of our journals in the Q1 quartile is quite an achievement which reflects the dedication of our authors, reviewers, and editorial team in consistently delivering high-quality, impactful research. We believe this underscores JMIR Publications’ growing influence and relevance in the medical community.”

More about Scopus CiteScore:
Scopus CiteScore is a valuable citation metric that measures the average number of citations received in the past 4 years by articles published in a given journal. A higher CiteScore reflects a journal’s influence and the wider reach of the research it publishes. CiteScore 2023 was released in June 2024 and captures citations received in 2020-2023 to articles published in the same timeframe.
