“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).

Is American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy a predatory journal?

What is the impact factor of American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy?
Papers in American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy are cited about 1.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 145. 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 Health-System Pharmacy (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy is Q1 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 3. By category: Pharmacy: Q1, #10 of 52; Health Policy: Q3, #188 of 334; Pharmacology: Q3, #208 of 339; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,404 of 2,517. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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; American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy is cited about 1.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 145.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy?
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 Health-System Pharmacy. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Pharmacy, 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 Health-System Pharmacy 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.
