Metrics
“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.

What is the impact factor of Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England?
Papers in Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England are cited about 1.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 92. 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 Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England in Q2 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; Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England is cited about 1.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 92. 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 Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England?
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 Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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.
