CiteScore is a metric launched by Elsevier in 2016 to provide comprehensive, transparent, and current insights into journal impact. The calculation of 2023 CiteScore is based on the number of citations received in 2020-2023 to 5 peer-reviewed document types (articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers, and book chapters) by a journal in the same four years, divided by the same journal’s number of peer-reviewed documents indexed in Scopus and published in those same four years. For more information on CiteScore, please visit https://service.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30562/supporthub/scopus/related/1/.
The CiteScores achieved reflect the valuable impact these journals have made in the scientific community. Here, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our Editorial Team Members, authors, and reviewers for their significant contributions.
We look forward to the continuous cooperation with all the individuals mentioned above and those who are interested in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery to bring more exciting content to readers in the coming future.
