CiteScore Badge API

The CiteScore badge API returns an SVG badge for a journal ISSN.

Badge URL

Use the ISSN after /citescore/:

https://bib2cv.com/citescore/25741284

The ISSN may also be passed to the PHP endpoint:

https://bib2cv.com/citescore/index.php?issn=25741284&format=svg

The ISSN must contain eight characters. Hyphens are accepted, for example 1082-989X.

Embed In HTML

For the fastest and most compatible embedding, use an image:

<img
  src="https://bib2cv.com/citescore/25741284">

The above code will generate an SVG badge with the CiteScore of the journal with ISSN 2574-1284 like below:

CiteScore details

An SVG loaded by <img> cannot contain a clickable link. To make the badge clickable, wrap the image in an HTML link:

<a href="https://bib2cv.com/citescore/info.php?issn=25741284">
  <img
    src="https://bib2cv.com/citescore/25741284"
    alt="CiteScore details"
    width="125"
    height="20">
</a>

Interactive SVG Embedding

Use <object> when the SVG itself must contain the link:

<object
  data="https://bib2cv.com/citescore/25741284"
  type="image/svg+xml"
  width="125"
  height="20">
</object>

<object> loads the SVG as a separate document and may be slower than <img>. The generated SVG links to the journal information page.

The generated badge looks like this:

Journal Information

Open the details page with:

https://bib2cv.com/citescore/info.php?issn=25741284

The page displays the journal title, CiteScore, SNIP, and SJR stored for the ISSN.
