“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 quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” means we hold no rank consistent with that quartile. 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).

Scope
Frequently asked
Is Acta Ortopédica Brasileira a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Acta Ortopédica Brasileira. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Acta Ortopédica Brasileira indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Acta Ortopédica Brasileira appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Acta Ortopédica Brasileira?
Papers in Acta Ortopédica Brasileira are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 41. 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 Ortopédica Brasileira (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Acta Ortopédica Brasileira is Q3 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Rehabilitation: Q3, #112 of 175; Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation: Q3, #166 of 260; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Q3, #235 of 340. 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 Ortopédica Brasileira is cited about 0.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 41.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Acta Ortopédica Brasileira?
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 Ortopédica Brasileira. 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 Ortopédica Brasileira 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Acta Ortopédica Brasileira?
Article processing charge (APC): $600 per accepted article (DOAJ). The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Acta Ortopédica Brasileira take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Acta Ortopédica Brasileira takes about ~25 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 Ortopédica Brasileira.
