For articles that have been published in journals included in the Scopus/Web of Science Core Collection database and ranked in the highest ten percentiles according to Cite Score/Journal Impact Factor, the maximum benefit amounts referred to in paragraph 1 of the Ordinance may be increased by 300%. If a journal is ranked in the highest five percentiles the maximum benefit amounts referred to in paragraph 1 may be increased by 400%.
