Best open-access journals for Oral Surgery

The top 40 of 74 Oral Surgery journals, open-access only, ranked by Scimago quartile, then by whether OpenAlex and Scimago agree on the subject and how central Oral Surgery is to each journal, then OpenAlex cites/paper (2-year window), leaving out journals both place in another discipline, drawn from a 17,500-venue index. Predatory venues are excluded; the FAQ below gives the exact ranking rule.

“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

Dentistry Journal, Journal of Dental Sciences, International Journal of Dentistry, BMC Oral Health, Dental and Medical Problems lead this list, drawn from a 17,500-venue index. The top 40 of 74 ranked venues are listed on this page; 8 are Scimago Q1, 23 Q2 and 9 Q3. Journals are placed by two independent classifications, OpenAlex's and Scimago's, plus any documented corrections. A journal both place under Oral Surgery 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 Oral Surgery 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 Oral Surgery come first, then venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Oral Surgery 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 Oral Surgery — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Oral Surgery — is listed after all the others. Where cites/paper decides, a journal with fewer than 30 papers in OpenAlex over the four most recent publication years is listed after those with more: a two-year average over so few papers can rest on a single article (2 of the 74 journals ranked here are below that floor; none of them is among the 40 shown). 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.
