“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 4.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 8.56 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).

Earthquake Spectra is Q1 in all 10 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Spectroscopy: Q1, #5 of 81), with SJR 1.331 (Scimago) and an h-index of 150 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Earthquake Spectra a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Earthquake Spectra. 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 Earthquake Spectra indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Earthquake Spectra 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 Earthquake Spectra?

Papers in Earthquake Spectra are cited about 4.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 150. 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 Earthquake Spectra (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Earthquake Spectra is Q1 in all 10 of its subject categories. By category: Spectroscopy: Q1, #5 of 81; Instrumentation: Q1, #8 of 165; Electrochemistry: Q1, #10 of 64; Surfaces, Coatings and Films: Q1, #13 of 142; Metals and Alloys: Q1, #16 of 181; Analytical Chemistry: Q1, #17 of 169; Materials Chemistry: Q1, #37 of 331; Condensed Matter Physics: Q1, #38 of 443; and 2 more. 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; Earthquake Spectra is cited about 4.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 150.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Earthquake Spectra?

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 Earthquake Spectra. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Earthquake Spectra 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.
