“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).
Advances in Climate Change Research is Q1 in all 3 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Atmospheric Science: Q1, #16 of 155), with SJR 1.591 (Scimago) and an h-index of 71 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Scope
Frequently asked
Is Advances in Climate Change Research a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Advances in Climate Change Research. 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 Advances in Climate Change Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Advances in Climate Change Research 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 Advances in Climate Change Research?
Papers in Advances in Climate Change Research are cited about 4.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 71. 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 Advances in Climate Change Research (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Advances in Climate Change Research is Q1 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Atmospheric Science: Q1, #16 of 155; Global and Planetary Change: Q1, #24 of 126; Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law: Q1, #40 of 424. 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; Advances in Climate Change Research is cited about 4.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 71.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Advances in Climate Change Research?
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 Advances in Climate Change Research. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Advances in Climate Change Research 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 Advances in Climate Change Research?
Article processing charge (APC): $2,000 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 Advances in Climate Change Research take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Advances in Climate Change Research takes about 8 days (median) — Publisher-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 Advances in Climate Change Research.
