“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 Applied Research in Quality of Life a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Applied Research in Quality of Life. 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 Applied Research in Quality of Life indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Applied Research in Quality of Life 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 Applied Research in Quality of Life?

Papers in Applied Research in Quality of Life are cited about 3.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 77. 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 Applied Research in Quality of Life (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Applied Research in Quality of Life is Q2 in Life-span and Life-course Studies (#18 of 57 journals). 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; Applied Research in Quality of Life is cited about 3.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 77.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Applied Research in Quality of Life?

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 Applied Research in Quality of Life. 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.

Is Applied Research in Quality of Life 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.
