The vertical axis is labeled “Citations” and ranges from “0” to “8” in increments of “2” units. The horizontal axis is labeled “Year” and ranges from “1995” to “2023” in increments of “2” years. The graph shows a single line that starts in “1995” at approximately “1.6” and moves in an upward direction to reach a peak point of “2.8” in “1996”. It then moves in a downward direction to reach its lowest point of “0.7” in “1998”. From there, the line moves in a steady upward direction to “5.7” in “2005”, followed by a brief downward direction to “4.4” in “2006”. The line moves in a steep upward direction to a high peak point of “7.7” in “2007” before fluctuating between “5.0” and “7.3” through “2016”. It reaches its highest peak point of approximately “7.9” in “2019”. Following this, the line moves in a steady downward direction through “2021” and ends at approximately “3.7” in “2023”. A hexagonal logo is present on the bottom right. Note: All numerical data values are approximated.Average article citation per year
