“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.

Frequently asked

Cardiovascular Diabetology, Lipids in Health and Disease, Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, Diabetes Therapy, Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome lead this list, drawn from a 17,782-venue index. The top 40 of 44 ranked venues are listed on this page; 12 are Scimago Q1, 12 Q2, 8 Q3, 6 Q4 and 2 have no Scimago quartile. Journals are placed by two independent classifications, OpenAlex's and Scimago's, plus any documented corrections. A journal both place under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism ranks ahead, within its Scimago quartile, of one only OpenAlex places there — because Scimago does not cover it, files it as Multidisciplinary, or files it under a neighbouring subject or only under a broad “(miscellaneous)” category (which counts as agreement when Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism is the journal's main OpenAlex subfield). By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, journals both sources place under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism come first, then venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism come before those that list it second or third, and ties go to OpenAlex cites/paper over a 2-year window. A venue whose main subfield is unrelated to Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism — is listed after all the others. Only open-access venues are included. Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.
