Sixteen journals with two or more publications were identified in data mining, and the top five in terms of relevant articles published and impact factors are listed in Table 1. Their impact factors (IFs) range from 5.816 to 11.236. Journals in environmental science have an average IF of 2.72 and the top 40% have at least 2.35 (Joannah 2022). All of the top five journals that published articles on the topic of this study are in the top 40% in the environmental science category. Table 1 also shows the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and their source normalized impact per article (SNIP) indicators. SJR and SNIP are commonly used to estimate both the value of a citation and a journal's impact, SJR reflecting scientific prestige and SNIP measuring the contextual citation impact. It is generally accepted that high index values reflect a high-quality journal. CiteScore (CS), a new metrics standard, also measures a journal's impact, using the Scopus database, and is very similar to the impact factor, the differences being that it is calculated using data from the previous three years instead of two, and that it includes all document types, rather than only papers and reviews (Kim & Chung 2018).
