“Cites per paper” is a two-year cited-by rate computed from OpenAlex. It is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric (how the two differ). Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline. What the other figures mean: journal quartile, SJR, h-index and article processing charge.

The document count is what Scopus indexed that year, which can be lower than a journal's full output. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).

Frequently asked
Is Acta Botanica Mexicana a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Acta Botanica Mexicana. That is not a guarantee of quality — it means the venue is not on Beall's archive (frozen since 2017) and does not match our name-pattern heuristic. It is listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, which is a positive signal.
Is Acta Botanica Mexicana indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Acta Botanica Mexicana appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Acta Botanica Mexicana?
Papers in Acta Botanica Mexicana are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 36. Those are the open equivalents: the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor is a proprietary metric we neither compute nor license, so we show the two-year citation rate and Scimago quartile instead — they answer the same question of how heavily the journal is cited. A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
What Scimago quartile is Acta Botanica Mexicana (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Acta Botanica Mexicana is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Plant Science: Q3, #341 of 566; Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics: Q3, #499 of 752. Quartiles split the journals in a subject category into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Acta Botanica Mexicana is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 36.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Acta Botanica Mexicana?
The Web of Science quartile comes from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a proprietary product we neither license nor compute — so we cannot state a JCR quartile for Acta Botanica Mexicana. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, derived from Scopus citation data. Because JCR ranks against Web of Science and Scimago against Scopus, the two can differ, so check Clarivate's site directly if you need the JCR quartile specifically.
Is Acta Botanica Mexicana open access?
Our index records its access status as "gold". Where this is derived from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic, so confirm on the journal's own site — particularly if an article processing charge matters to you.
Is Acta Botanica Mexicana free to publish in?
Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Acta Botanica Mexicana. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.
How long does Acta Botanica Mexicana take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Acta Botanica Mexicana takes about ~16 wk — DOAJ self-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Acta Botanica Mexicana.
