Scopus began providing CiteScores 11 years ago. They are now available for more than 27,000 titles in 332 disciplines. According to Scopus, “CiteScore metrics deliver greater insight into research impact and influence… researchers can use CiteScore to help determine where to publish and showcase their research as well as identify serial titles to read.”

We would like to thank all our Editors, reviewers and authors for their hard work which has contributed to this success. Stay up-to-date with the latest research from A&A by signing up for free e-mail alerts.
