“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 1.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.03 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).

Early Years Journal of International Research and Development is Q2 in all 2 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Developmental and Educational Psychology: Q2, #188 of 380), with SJR 0.564 (Scimago) and an h-index of 60 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.
