Nordicom Review has shown a constant increase in cite score value in recent years, and last year was no exception. Karin H. Zelano, scientific editor, says:
“The increasing number of scholarly citations in high-ranking journals show that the articles we publish add value to ongoing scientific debates across the media and communication sciences. That is great! Citations also show that our editorial efforts to attract high-quality submissions, engage conscientious reviewers, provide a smooth editing process, and actively disseminate what we publish within the research community is really paying off”.
