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: CERN jumps 12 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.
