A numerical metric reflects the average number of citations received recently by articles published in a specific journal focused on cellular communication processes and precision medicine. This metric serves as an indicator of a journal’s relative influence within the scientific community. For example, a higher number suggests greater visibility and potential impact on subsequent research in these fields.
This measure of influence is crucial for researchers, institutions, and funding agencies. It helps evaluate the dissemination and recognition of research findings related to how cells respond to external stimuli and how therapies can be tailored to specific molecular targets. Historically, such metrics have evolved to provide a quantifiable assessment of a journal’s standing, although their limitations and potential biases are also acknowledged within academic discourse.
