Australia is known to be a global leader in grape and wine research, and the Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research (AJGWR) supports this reputation by being the most influential grape and wine focused journal in the world.
Newly released CiteScore metrics from Scopus in June show the AJGWR achieved a CiteScore of 6.5 in 2024, which is a significant increase from 5.3 in 2023. The score is based on 157 articles published over the past four years being cited 1,028 times in other publications.
Within the horticultural category, the AJGWR was ranked 11th in the world based on its CiteScore, rising from 15th the previous year, and putting it in the 91st percentile.
Even more notable is that the AJGWR is still the highest ranked journal on oenology and viticulture by a wide margin. The next highest was ranked 23rd with a CiteScore of 4.3 and the third highest at 29th with 3.9, confirming AJGWR’s status as the most influential viticulture and oenology journal globally.
Stefano Poni, the Chief Editor of the AJGWR said, “The achievement of the ‘yellow journal’ to be the leading viticulture and oenology journal in the world reflects the collective efforts of our editorial board, associate editors, reviewers, and contributors over many years. I am grateful for their dedication and hard work. I am very pleased to take a moment to share and celebrate this proud milestone with the Australian wine research community”.
