“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, Advances in Meteorology is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. Its best category quartile is Q2.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |

| Pollution | Q2 | #76 of 178 |
| Atmospheric Science | Q3 | #79 of 155 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 2.72
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 48
OpenAlex counts about 1.6 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.72 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
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 Meteorology is Q2 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Geophysics: Q2, #51 of 174), with SJR 0.617 (Scimago) and an h-index of 72 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is Advances in Meteorology a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Advances in Meteorology. 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 Meteorology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Advances in Meteorology 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 Meteorology?
Papers in Advances in Meteorology are cited about 1.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 72. 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 Meteorology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Advances in Meteorology is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Geophysics: Q2, #51 of 174; Pollution: Q2, #76 of 178; Atmospheric Science: Q3, #79 of 155. 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; Advances in Meteorology is cited about 1.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 72.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Advances in Meteorology?
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 Meteorology. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Geophysics and 1 other category, 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 Meteorology 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 Meteorology?
Article processing charge (APC): $1,790 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. 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 Meteorology take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Advances in Meteorology takes about ~23 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 Advances in Meteorology.
