Terms of Use

1) Scope and permitted use

You may browse, search, and reference this platform for research, verification, and informational purposes. You must not attempt unauthorized access, automated scraping that degrades service, or misuse of published records.

2) Data handling overview

Platform operation relies on request metadata, search parameters, and aggregate analytics events. Personal data processing is limited to what is necessary for service delivery, security, and performance analysis.

3) Metric methodology

Journal indicators are derived from indexed publication and citation datasets. A composite impact score is computed from normalized citation density, h5-index depth, cited share, publication volume, citation footprint, an external metric anchor, and self-citation integrity.

Impact Score = 5 x (0.30D + 0.20H + 0.15C + 0.12V + 0.10T + 0.08M + 0.05S)

• D, H, V, T, and M are log-normalized against high-percentile anchors from the indexed dataset.
• C reflects cited-publication share.
• S reduces score contribution when self-citation rates exceed integrity thresholds.

4) Accuracy, availability, and liability

The service is provided on an "as available" basis. While quality controls are applied, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or absolute completeness of third-party publication data. Metrics are analytical signals, not endorsements or clinical advice.

5) Updates and contact

We may revise these terms to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. For questions or data rights requests, contact [email protected].

6) Spam and abuse protection
