British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies

Papers in British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 51. 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.

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies is Q1 in 1 of its 3 subject categories, Q2 in 1 and Q3 in 1. By category: History: Q1, #183 of 1,914; Geography, Planning and Development: Q2, #423 of 853; Earth-Surface Processes: Q3, #95 of 184. 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; British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies is cited about 0.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 51.

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 Middle Eastern Studies. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in History, 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.

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.
