BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #212

Summary

The Normalized Burn Ratio Plus (NBRplus) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Emanuele Alcaras, Domenica Costantino, Francesca Guastaferro, Claudio Parente, & Massimiliano Pepe (2022). Normalized Burn Ratio Plus (NBR+): A New Index for Sentinel-2 Imagery. Remote Sensing, 14(7). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14071727 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 33.44th percentile overall, ranking 212 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 53 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 17 (69.81th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 72.22th percentile and ranks 6 out of 18 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
