“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 1.2 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 0.78 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).

Der Nervenarzt is Q3 in 1 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,828 of 2,517), with SJR 0.264 (Scimago) and an h-index of 59 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Der Nervenarzt a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Der Nervenarzt. 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 Der Nervenarzt indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Der Nervenarzt 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 Der Nervenarzt?

Papers in Der Nervenarzt are cited about 1.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 59. 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 Der Nervenarzt (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Der Nervenarzt is Q3 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q4 in the other 3. By category: Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,828 of 2,517; Neurology: Q4, #154 of 204; Neurology (clinical): Q4, #306 of 406; Psychiatry and Mental Health: Q4, #459 of 605. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; Der Nervenarzt is cited about 1.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 59.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Der Nervenarzt?

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 Der Nervenarzt. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Medicine (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 Der Nervenarzt 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.
