Journals' Dissemination Scores*  (DS) are calculated as the sum of values taken from two different variable types. The first is Citation Score (CS). CS criteria and abbreviations are shown in the table below. The calculation of this value is given in formula 1. Second, Basic Score (BS), calculated by taking into account the basic criteria of the journal (Formula 2). Finally, the sum of these two scores is taken and the DS is calculated ( DS = CS+BS).
