“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Acta Physica Polonica A is Q4 in Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) (#280 of 320 journals).

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).

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked
Is Acta Physica Polonica A a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Acta Physica Polonica A. 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 Physica Polonica A indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Acta Physica Polonica A 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 Physica Polonica A?
Papers in Acta Physica Polonica A are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q4, with an h-index of 65. 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 Physica Polonica A (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Acta Physica Polonica A is Q4 in Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) (#280 of 320 journals). 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 Physica Polonica A is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 65.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Acta Physica Polonica A?
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 Physica Polonica A. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q4, 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 Physica Polonica A 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 Physica Polonica A 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 Physica Polonica A. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.
How long does Acta Physica Polonica A take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Acta Physica Polonica A takes about ~15 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 Physica Polonica A.
