“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).
Bioorganic Chemistry is Q1 in 1 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Organic Chemistry: Q1, #47 of 210), with SJR 0.747 (Scimago) and an h-index of 118 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked
Is Bioorganic Chemistry a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Bioorganic Chemistry. 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 Bioorganic Chemistry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Bioorganic Chemistry 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 Bioorganic Chemistry?
Papers in Bioorganic Chemistry are cited about 4.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 118. 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 Bioorganic Chemistry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Bioorganic Chemistry is Q1 in 1 of its 4 subject categories, Q2 in 2 and Q3 in 1. By category: Organic Chemistry: Q1, #47 of 210; Drug Discovery: Q2, #54 of 161; Biochemistry: Q2, #184 of 449; Molecular Biology: Q3, #231 of 425. 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; Bioorganic Chemistry is cited about 4.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 118.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Bioorganic Chemistry?
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 Bioorganic Chemistry. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Organic Chemistry, 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 Bioorganic Chemistry 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.
How long does Bioorganic Chemistry take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Bioorganic Chemistry takes about 3 days (median) — Publisher-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.
What is the acceptance rate of Bioorganic Chemistry?
Bioorganic Chemistry reports an acceptance rate of about 21% — Publisher-reported. Acceptance rates vary by article type and change from year to year, and a publisher-stated figure is the journal's own, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee.
