Journal statistics

Board size: Total editorial positions scraped for this journal (one person may hold multiple roles).

% Female: Percentage of board members with inferred female gender (algorithmically inferred from first names, not self-reported).

Countries: Number of distinct countries represented on the editorial board. Higher = more geographically diverse.

OA: Open Access status. Indicates whether the journal is listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), meaning all content is freely available without subscription.

Scopus: Indexed in Scopus, Elsevier's abstract and citation database covering 27,000+ journals. Scopus indexing is a widely used quality indicator.

WoS: Indexed in Web of Science, Clarivate's citation index. WoS is one of the most selective indexing services and a traditional benchmark for journal quality.

PubMed: Indexed in PubMed, the US National Library of Medicine's database of biomedical and life sciences literature. Primarily relevant for health and biomedical journals.

NPI: Level in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers (Kanalregisteret), maintained by the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. Used across Nordic countries as a quality indicator. Level 2 = leading/prestigious (top ~20% within each field), Level 1 = recognized scientific channel, Level 0 = not recognized. Blank = not in the register.

Citedness Q*: Computed locally per field from OpenAlex 2-year mean citedness using quartile binning. Q1 = top 25% most cited within the same scientific field. This accounts for different citation norms across disciplines. This is NOT the Clarivate JIF quartile or Scopus CiteScore quartile — it is an independent computation from open data. Blank = insufficient data or field has fewer than 4 journals.

EIC / Associate / Section / Board member / Guest / Deputy / Reviewing / Editor (generic) / Other: Per-journal position counts broken out by the standardised role classification (role_std). These count positions, not deduped editors — one person can hold two titles on the same board and each is tallied separately. Hidden by default; open the column picker to show them. The exact string-to-role mapping is documented on the methodology page.
