“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 Comptes Rendus Biologies a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Comptes Rendus Biologies. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Comptes Rendus Biologies indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Comptes Rendus Biologies appears in: DOAJ, 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 Comptes Rendus Biologies?
Papers in Comptes Rendus Biologies are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 108. 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 Comptes Rendus Biologies (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Comptes Rendus Biologies is Q2 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 3. By category: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous): Q2, #218 of 462; Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous): Q3, #69 of 104; Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous): Q3, #229 of 347; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,752 of 2,517. 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; Comptes Rendus Biologies is cited about 1.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 108.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Comptes Rendus Biologies?
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 Comptes Rendus Biologies. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Agricultural and Biological 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.
Is Comptes Rendus Biologies 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.
How long does Comptes Rendus Biologies take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Comptes Rendus Biologies takes about ~9 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 Comptes Rendus Biologies.
