“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).

Is Current Opinion in Lipidology a predatory journal?

Is Current Opinion in Lipidology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Current Opinion in Lipidology 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 Opinion in Lipidology?
Papers in Current Opinion in Lipidology are cited about 5.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 155. 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 Opinion in Lipidology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Current Opinion in Lipidology is Q1 in 4 of its 6 subject categories and Q2 in the other 2. By category: Nutrition and Dietetics: Q1, #17 of 147; Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism: Q1, #53 of 249; Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine: Q1, #74 of 414; Genetics: Q1, #79 of 370; Cell Biology: Q2, #100 of 297; Molecular Biology: Q2, #119 of 425. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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 Opinion in Lipidology is cited about 5.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 155.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Current Opinion in Lipidology?
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 Opinion in Lipidology. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Nutrition and Dietetics and 3 other categories, 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 Opinion in Lipidology 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.
