Why this ranking is different

This page surfaces the SAME source pool but ranks ONLY by Modern Citation Reference. The biggest re-shuffle: The BMJ (British Medical Journal) jumps 4 positions vs the composite Index ranking.
Use this view when modern citation reference is the signal that matters for your citation decision. The composite Index is the safer default; this dim-faceted view is the precision lens.
