The journal positions in this ranking are determined based on a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of eminent scientists who have endorsed each journal over the preceding three years. This rigorous approach ensures that the ranking reflects both the quantitative impact and qualitative recognition within the scientific community.

The ranking incorporates Impact Score values collected as of January 12, 2026, offering the most recent and relevant assessment of journal influence. To generate this ranking, more than 877 journals were carefully selected following an exhaustive review of over 434,710 scientific documents published within the last three years.
