“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked

Is Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery. 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 Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery appears in: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery?

Papers in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery are cited about 1.9 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 112. 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 Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery in Q2 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery is cited about 1.9 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 112. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery?

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 Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery open access?

We hold no reliable open-access classification for Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.

How long does Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery takes about 5 days (median) — Publisher-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 Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery.
