Papers in Administrative Theory & Praxis are cited about 2.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 51. 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.

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Administrative Theory & Praxis is Q2 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 3. By category: Sociology and Political Science: Q2, #651 of 1,477; Public Administration: Q3, #125 of 239; Business and International Management: Q3, #257 of 449; Strategy and Management: Q3, #298 of 495. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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; Administrative Theory & Praxis is cited about 2.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 51.

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 Administrative Theory & Praxis. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Sociology and Political Science, 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.

Our index records its access status as "hybrid". 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.
