“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 Colloid and Interface Science is Q1 in all 3 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Colloid and Surface Chemistry: Q1, #2 of 22), with SJR 3.602 (Scimago) and an h-index of 289 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Advances in Colloid and Interface Science a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Advances in Colloid and Interface Science. 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 Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Advances in Colloid and Interface Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Advances in Colloid and Interface Science appears in: 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 Advances in Colloid and Interface Science?
Papers in Advances in Colloid and Interface Science are cited about 21.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 289. 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 Colloid and Interface Science (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Advances in Colloid and Interface Science is Q1 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Colloid and Surface Chemistry: Q1, #2 of 22; Surfaces and Interfaces: Q1, #2 of 63; Physical and Theoretical Chemistry: Q1, #3 of 191. 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 Colloid and Interface Science is cited about 21.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 289.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Advances in Colloid and Interface Science?
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 Colloid and Interface Science. 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 Colloid and Interface Science open access?
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.
