PCS-Q-1.0. PCS determines the PCS-Q ranking only; it does not determine Citation Rank, Citation Percentile or Citation Quartile. Item counts in amber are below 20 and should be read as a limited sample. 12 further journals are assigned to this category with low subject confidence and are not ranked in it.
