“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.

Data as of 25 October 2026 (venue index build).

AI and Ethics has an h-index of 68 (OpenAlex). Listed in PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is AI and Ethics a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag AI and Ethics. 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 PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is AI and Ethics indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of AI and Ethics?

Papers in AI and Ethics are cited about 5.9 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 68. 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.

Is AI and Ethics 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.
