“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 Civil Engineering and Architecture a predatory journal?

Our screening flags Civil Engineering and Architecture as a possible predatory venue because its publisher appears on Beall's archive, which has been frozen since 2017. Treat this as a prompt to check carefully, not a verdict: verify against DOAJ and Think. Check. Submit before submitting.

Is Civil Engineering and Architecture indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Civil Engineering and Architecture appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Civil Engineering and Architecture?

Papers in Civil Engineering and Architecture are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 22. 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 Civil Engineering and Architecture (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Civil Engineering and Architecture is Q2 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Architecture: Q2, #84 of 202; Civil and Structural Engineering: Q4, #319 of 418. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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; Civil Engineering and Architecture is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 22.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Civil Engineering and Architecture?

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 Civil Engineering and Architecture. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Architecture, 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 Civil Engineering and Architecture 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.
