“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.

OpenAlex counts about 1.0 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.17 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
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).
Baghdad Science Journal is Q2 in 1 of its 6 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous): Q2, #199 of 462), with SJR 0.345 (Scimago) and an h-index of 24 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is Baghdad Science Journal a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Baghdad Science Journal. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, which is a positive signal.
Is Baghdad Science Journal indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Baghdad Science Journal appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Baghdad Science Journal?
Papers in Baghdad Science Journal are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 24. 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 Baghdad Science Journal (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Baghdad Science Journal is Q2 in 1 of its 6 subject categories and Q3 in the other 5. By category: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous): Q2, #199 of 462; Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q3, #165 of 320; Computer Science (miscellaneous): Q3, #191 of 365; Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous): Q3, #217 of 347; Mathematics (miscellaneous): Q3, #256 of 499; Chemistry (miscellaneous): Q3, #306 of 530. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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; Baghdad Science Journal is cited about 1.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 24.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Baghdad Science Journal?
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 Baghdad Science Journal. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous), 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 Baghdad Science Journal open access?
Our index records its access status as "gold". 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Baghdad Science Journal?
Article processing charge (APC): 350,000 IQD per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Baghdad Science Journal take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Baghdad Science Journal takes about ~40 wk — DOAJ self-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Baghdad Science Journal.
