“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 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 Discover Public Health a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Discover Public Health. 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 Discover Public Health indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Discover Public Health 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 Discover Public Health?

Papers in Discover Public Health are cited about 1.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 14. 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 Discover Public Health (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Discover Public Health is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Epidemiology: Q3, #111 of 175; Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health: Q3, #455 of 728. 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; Discover Public Health is cited about 1.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 14.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Discover Public Health?

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 Discover Public Health. 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.
