Scimago quartile (2025): —
Cites per paper (2y): 2.5
SJR: —
h-index: 61

“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.

Frequently asked

Is El Profesional de la Informacion a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag El Profesional de la Informacion. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is El Profesional de la Informacion indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, El Profesional de la Informacion appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of El Profesional de la Informacion?

Papers in El Profesional de la Informacion are cited about 2.5 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 61. 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.

Is El Profesional de la Informacion 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.
