“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
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Biotechnology | Q3 | #214 of 320 |
| Agronomy and Crop Science | Q3 | #218 of 428 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 1.09
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 58
OpenAlex counts about 0.7 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.09 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).
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology is Q3 in all 2 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Biotechnology: Q3, #214 of 320), with SJR 0.331 (Scimago) and an h-index of 45 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology. 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, which is a positive signal.
Is Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology?
Papers in Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology are cited about 0.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 45. 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 Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Biotechnology: Q3, #214 of 320; Agronomy and Crop Science: Q3, #218 of 428. 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; Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology is cited about 0.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 45.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology?
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 Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, 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 Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology 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.
Is Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology free to publish in?
Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.
How long does Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology takes about ~24 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 Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology.
