Its open counterpart is the 2-year mean citedness OpenAlex holds for Remote Sensing: 5.25, the mean number of citations received by the journal's papers of the last two years. That ranks Remote Sensing #1,604 of 18,122 journals, in the top 9%. The two figures follow the same idea on different records, so they are not equal.

How these figures are made
Every figure is from OpenAlex's record of this journal, snapshot of 2026-10-14. The 2-year mean citedness is not Clarivate's impact factor: it counts the citations OpenAlex has recorded, so it differs from the licensed figure. Ranks are among the 18,122 journals with at least 1,000 works in OpenAlex and a record in 2025 or later that pass checks for record errors. Method and limits.
