“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.

Frequently asked

Is American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. 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 American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry 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 American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry?

Papers in American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry are cited about 1.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 177. 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 American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry in Q1 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry is cited about 1.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 177. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry?

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 American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. 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 American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry 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.
