“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).

Brain Imaging and Behavior is Q1 in 1 of its 7 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging: Q1, #66 of 360), with SJR 0.962 (Scimago) and an h-index of 90 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Brain Imaging and Behavior a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Brain Imaging and Behavior. 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 Brain Imaging and Behavior indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Brain Imaging and Behavior 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 Brain Imaging and Behavior?

Papers in Brain Imaging and Behavior are cited about 2.3 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 90. 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 Brain Imaging and Behavior (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Brain Imaging and Behavior is Q1 in 1 of its 7 subject categories, Q2 in 5 and Q3 in 1. By category: Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging: Q1, #66 of 360; Behavioral Neuroscience: Q2, #28 of 94; Cognitive Neuroscience: Q2, #45 of 126; Neurology: Q2, #64 of 204; Neurology (clinical): Q2, #117 of 406; Psychiatry and Mental Health: Q2, #184 of 605; Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience: Q3, #53 of 102. 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; Brain Imaging and Behavior is cited about 2.3 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 90.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Brain Imaging and Behavior?

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 Brain Imaging and Behavior. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, 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 Brain Imaging and Behavior 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 Brain Imaging and Behavior take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Brain Imaging and Behavior takes about 16 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. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Brain Imaging and Behavior.
