“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

The Lancet Planetary Health, Environment International, Environmental Health Perspectives, Environmental Sciences Europe, Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety lead this list, drawn from a 17,500-venue index. All 28 ranked venues are listed on this page; 12 are Scimago Q1, 5 Q2, 4 Q3, 5 Q4 and 2 have no Scimago quartile. By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 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 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis — 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.
