The validity of measuring the quality of OA journals by citations and impact indicators may seem questionable.
“Thus, the validity of measuring the quality of OA journals by citations and impact indicators may seem questionable [128].”
From Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus: The Titans of Bibliographic Information in Today’s Academic World (2021) · cites this paper as [128]
OA journals indexed in WoS and Scopus are usually estimated as having lower citation impact indicator values for the time being.
“Although OA journals indexed in the DBs are usually being estimated as having lower citation impact indicator values for the time being [128,152]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
