“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).

Frequently asked
Is Advances in Nutrition a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Advances in Nutrition. 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 Nutrition indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of Advances in Nutrition?
Papers in Advances in Nutrition are cited about 8.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 190. 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 Nutrition (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Advances in Nutrition is Q1 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Nutrition and Dietetics: Q1, #2 of 147; Food Science: Q1, #3 of 422; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q1, #78 of 2,517. 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 Nutrition is cited about 8.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 190.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Advances in Nutrition?
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 Nutrition. 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.
