“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025

| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|

| Social Work | Q2 | #21 of 55 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)

- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 126
OpenAlex counts about 0.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.87 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
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).

What is the impact factor of Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal?
Papers in Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 76. 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 Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal is Q1 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Social Sciences (miscellaneous): Q1, #180 of 937; Social Work: Q2, #21 of 55. 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; Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 76.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal?
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 Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Social Sciences (miscellaneous), 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.

How long does Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal take to publish a paper?
