“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.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked

Is e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology. 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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology 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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology?

Papers in e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q4, with an h-index of 30. 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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology in Q4 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 30. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology?

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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q4, 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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology 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.

What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology?

Article processing charge (APC): $93 per accepted article (DOAJ). The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.

How long does e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology take to publish a paper?

Submission to publication for e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology takes about ~12 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 e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology.
