Why this ranking is different

The composite SourceScore Index averages all three sub-scores — Citation Discipline, Modern Reference, and Citation Velocity. This page surfaces the SAME source pool but ranks ONLY by Citation Discipline. The biggest re-shuffle: BMJ Best Practice jumps 3 positions vs the composite Index ranking.

Use this view when citation discipline is the signal that matters for your citation decision. The composite Index is the safer default; this dim-faceted view is the precision lens.
