“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 Current Analytical Chemistry a predatory journal?

Our screening flags Current Analytical Chemistry 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 Current Analytical Chemistry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Current Analytical Chemistry 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 Current Analytical Chemistry?

Papers in Current Analytical Chemistry are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 49. 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 Current Analytical Chemistry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Current Analytical Chemistry is Q3 in Analytical Chemistry (#117 of 169 journals). 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; Current Analytical Chemistry is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 49.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Current Analytical Chemistry?

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 Current Analytical Chemistry. 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 Current Analytical Chemistry open access?

Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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 Current Analytical Chemistry take to publish a paper?

Submission to acceptance for Current Analytical Chemistry takes about 81 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=20 papers). 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 Current Analytical Chemistry.
