“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).

Frequently asked
Is British Journal of Community Nursing a predatory journal?

What is the impact factor of British Journal of Community Nursing?
Papers in British Journal of Community Nursing are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 53. 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 British Journal of Community Nursing (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, British Journal of Community Nursing is Q3 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Community and Home Care: Q3, #31 of 42; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q4, #1,923 of 2,517. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; British Journal of Community Nursing is cited about 1.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 53.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of British Journal of Community Nursing?
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 British Journal of Community Nursing. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Community and Home Care, 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 British Journal of Community Nursing open access?
Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.
