The current CiteScores measure the average number of citations within a journal over a four-year window (2022–2025). The Scopus database provides a comprehensive suite of metrics that support informed publishing strategies, research evaluation, and enable benchmarking of journal performance.

The continued success of these journals would not be possible without the dedication and support of our editors, reviewers, authors, and readers. We sincerely thank all scholars for their ongoing support of the MDPI Ecosystem and Resource Management Cluster.
