“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.

OpenAlex counts about 1.3 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.08 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).

Combustion Science and Technology is Q2 in 2 of its 5 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q2, #143 of 320), with SJR 0.405 (Scimago) and an h-index of 141 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

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.

Frequently asked

Is Combustion Science and Technology a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Combustion Science and Technology. 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 Combustion Science and Technology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Combustion Science and Technology 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 Combustion Science and Technology?

Papers in Combustion Science and Technology are cited about 1.3 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 141. 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 Combustion Science and Technology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Combustion Science and Technology is Q2 in 2 of its 5 subject categories and Q3 in the other 3. By category: Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q2, #143 of 320; Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #181 of 369; Fuel Technology: Q3, #73 of 130; Energy Engineering and Power Technology: Q3, #156 of 289; Chemistry (miscellaneous): Q3, #274 of 530. 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; Combustion Science and Technology is cited about 1.3 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 141.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Combustion Science and Technology?

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 Combustion Science and Technology. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 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 Combustion Science and Technology open access?

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.

How long does Combustion Science and Technology take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Combustion Science and Technology takes about 33 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.

What is the acceptance rate of Combustion Science and Technology?

Combustion Science and Technology reports an acceptance rate of about 43% — Publisher-reported. Acceptance rates vary by article type and change from year to year, and a publisher-stated figure is the journal's own, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee.
