“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).
Chemical Physics Impact is Q1 in 2 of its 8 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q1, #73 of 320), with SJR 0.72 (Scimago) and an h-index of 43 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is Chemical Physics Impact a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Chemical Physics Impact. 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 Chemical Physics Impact indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Chemical Physics Impact 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 Chemical Physics Impact?
Papers in Chemical Physics Impact are cited about 8.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 43. 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 Chemical Physics Impact (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Chemical Physics Impact is Q1 in 2 of its 8 subject categories and Q2 in the other 6. By category: Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q1, #73 of 320; Condensed Matter Physics: Q1, #108 of 443; Biophysics: Q2, #54 of 159; Physical and Theoretical Chemistry: Q2, #54 of 191; Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics: Q2, #66 of 229; Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials: Q2, #83 of 279; Biochemistry: Q2, #196 of 449; Materials Science (miscellaneous): Q2, #221 of 700. 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; Chemical Physics Impact is cited about 8.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 43.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Chemical Physics Impact?
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 Chemical Physics Impact. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) and 1 other category, 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 Chemical Physics Impact 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 Chemical Physics Impact?
Article processing charge (APC): $1,670 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 Chemical Physics Impact take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Chemical Physics Impact takes about ~11 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 Chemical Physics Impact.
