In 2024, Bulletin of the Section of Logic achieved a CiteScore of 1.1, placing the journal in the 74th percentile in the Arts and Humanities – Philosophy category.
What is CiteScore?
CiteScore is a citation impact metric. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations received by a journal over the past four years (including the year the score is reported for) by the number of documents published in that same four-year period. The 2024 CiteScore results cover citations and publications from 2021–2024.
CiteScore is a non-standardized indicator, meaning it does not account for differences between disciplines. Therefore, it should not be used to compare journals across different subject areas.
To assess a journal’s impact within its field, percentile values should be taken into account.
Place in the ranking
The relative standing of the journal in its specific subject field is indicated by percentiles calculated from the journal's CiteScores. A journal can be evaluated in more than one discipline.
The 74th percentile for BSL means that the journal is ranked among the top 26% of philosophy journals indexed in Scopus.

The Bulletin of the Section of Logic, indexed in ESCI since 2024, has received its first Journal Impact Factor, with a value of 0.6.
What is the Journal Impact Factor?

Similarly to the CiteScore, the JIF is a non-standardized indicator. To assess a journal’s impact within a specific discipline, it is necessary to take into account its percentile rank and quartile placement.
Place in the ranking
Based on the 2024 JIF, BSL has a percentile rank of 57.4, placing the journal in the second quartile within the “Logic” category.
This means the journal is among the top 50% of highest-ranked journals in its field.
