On June 6, 2024, Elsevier officially released CiteScore 2023, an important indicator to measure the influence of journals. CiteScore can assist scientific researchers to analyze and evaluate journals, book series, conference proceedings and other series publications, and has been widely recognized and applied by scientific researchers, librarians, journal editors and publishers, and authors, providing scientific researchers with decision-making basis and improving decision-making quality and efficiency.

CiteScore 2023 calculates the number of citations made in 2020-2023 for articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers published in 2020-2023 divided by the total number of publications published in 2020-2023.

Open Exploration currently has 3 journals indexed by Scopus. With the support of our Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board Members, authors, reviewers and readers, 2 journals have achieved higher CiteScore scores than 2022, and a newly indexed journal has achieved its first CiteScore score.

1. Exploration of Medicine (EM) journal's CiteScore reached 2.1 in 2023, up from 1.8 of 2022. This increase, while seemingly small, is significant in the academic field.

In addition, out of a total of 636 journals in General Medicine, EM ranked 239th, located in Q2 region. This progress is closely related to the support and contribution of the majority of scientific researchers and professionals.
