Understanding Journal Metrics

When authors select a journal to submit their manuscripts, they often rely on journal metrics to assess the quality and impact of the journal. However, relying solely on metrics may not provide a complete picture of the journal's standing. To gain a comprehensive understanding of a journal's performance and reputation, it's essential to consider a variety of metrics and other factors.

The Bulletin of Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Research (BPMR) recognizes the importance of providing authors with comprehensive and up-to-date metrics. BPMR updates its metrics annually at the end of January. These metrics include usage, reach, citation metrics, speed, acceptance rate, total article views, and cumulative downloads. By considering a range of metrics and other factors, authors can gain a nuanced understanding of the journal's impact and standing in their field.

Crossref Cited-by Metric

BPMR utilizes the Crossref Cited-by Metric to assess the scholarly impact of its published articles. This metric quantifies the influence of research by tracking citations received from other Crossref-registered works. It offers a direct measure of an article's academic significance and its integration within the global research ecosystem, providing valuable insights into its reception and relevance.

Speed

BPMR evaluates several speed metrics to reflect the journal's efficiency at various stages of the publishing process. We calculate median values for these metrics, based on the previous calendar year, to include the time from manuscript submission to the first decision, the duration of the peer review process, the time from submission to acceptance, and the time from acceptance to online publication.

Acceptance Rate

The acceptance rate at BPMR is calculated as the percentage of manuscripts accepted for publication out of all manuscripts that have received a final decision over the last calendar year.

Total Article Views

Total article views measure the cumulative number of views for all articles published by the journal to date. This metric highlights the journal's overall visibility and the continuous interest in its content, serving as a key indicator of its reach and the impact of its publications on the research community. 

Cumulative Downloads

The cumulative downloads metric quantifies the total number of times all articles published by BPMR have been downloaded to date. This metric highlights BPMR's impact and its role in disseminating research widely within the academic community. It reflects the journal's enduring relevance and its contribution to scholarly discourse globally.

Editorial Board Composition

BPMR is committed to diversity and inclusivity across its editorial board, reflecting this in three key metrics:

a. Number of Editors

b. Geographical Distribution
