Source Normalized Impact per Paper, CiteScore, SCImago Journal Rank.
Results: the highest number of articles was found in 2022 (n=30553), the highest number of citations in 2018 (n=277749) with a weighted citation impact index per field of 1,04; 10,9 was the highest annual average number of citations per article.
