Unlike impact factors, CiteScore measures the contributions of journals with a broader coverage and more long-term (4 years) basis. The Journal of Population Economics has substantially climbed the CiteScore rankings in the past year, moving from a score of 3.9 in 2020 to 6.5 in 2021! This exciting move reflects increasing use and citation of articles published between 2018-2021, the years used for calculation of the CiteScore. For more information on the CiteScore rankings and the performance of the Journal, please read editor-in-chief Klaus Zimmermann’s reflections here.
