Question 2

How were these Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health journals ranked?

Accepted Answer

Journals are placed by two independent classifications, OpenAlex's and Scimago's, plus any documented corrections. A journal both place under Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health 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 Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health is the journal's main OpenAlex subfield). 1 journal OpenAlex files under Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health is left out because OpenAlex's main field for it and Scimago's categories both place it in another discipline. By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, journals both sources place under Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health come first, then venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health 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 Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health — is listed after all the others. Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.

Question 3

Why don't all Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health journals show a quartile?

Accepted Answer

Scimago doesn't cover every journal — many strong regional and open-access venues are absent from it. We show "no Scimago quartile" for those rather than hide them; it's a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.

Question 4
