What is Cite Score How Cite score is different from Impact factor #ResearchMetrics

iteScore is another metric for measuring journal impact in Scopus. The calculation of CiteScore for the current year is based on the number of citations received by a journal in the latest 4 years (including the calculation year), divided by the number of documents published in the journal in those four years. CiteScore is a metric without field-normalization, thus should not be compared between subject fields (different citation practices across disciplines affect the values of the metric). If you wish to compare journals across subject fields, use SNIP or SJR instead, which are field-normalized metrics. CiteScore is calculated on an annual basis, showing the average citations for a full calendar year. CiteScore Tracker calculation is updated every month, giving a current indication of a journal's performance. #citation #journal #pkprabhakar
