Elsevier’s (Scopus) CiteScore, a journal-based metric (JBM), has been assigned to more journals than Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Impact Factor (JIF), including journals indexed by Scopus that do not carry a JIF. Unlike JIFs, CiteScore values are openly accessible. The advertisement of CiteScore, like other metrics, by journals or publishers may be in violation of DORA (Declaration on Research Assessment) principles. While use of the CiteScore can provide interesting information about how a journal is being cited, the use of this JBM as a “quality” metric is cautioned.

CiteScore：进展、演进、应用和限制

Elsevier (Scopus) CiteScore 是一种基于期刊的指标 (JBM)，已分配给比 Clarivate Analytics 的期刊影响因子 (JIF) 更多的期刊，包括由 Scopus 索引但不带有 JIF 的期刊。与 JIF 不同，CiteScore 值是可公开访问的。与其他指标一样，期刊或出版商的 CiteScore 广告可能违反 DORA（研究评估声明）原则。虽然使用 CiteScore 可以提供有关期刊如何被引用的有趣信息，但使用此 JBM 作为“质量”指标是谨慎的。
