Metrics
“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.
Is this the right journal for your paper?
The AI Journal Finder ranks the best-matched journals for your paper’s topic — with tier, open access, citation rate and predatory flags. Free to start.
Responding time
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.
Indexing & access
Access status: hybrid. Where this comes from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic — confirm on the journal’s own site, especially regarding any article processing charge.

Frequently asked
Is Environmental Science and Pollution Research a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Environmental Science and Pollution Research. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Environmental Science and Pollution Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Environmental Science and Pollution Research appears in: Scopus, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Environmental Science and Pollution Research?
Papers in Environmental Science and Pollution Research are cited about 5.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 263. 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 Environmental Science and Pollution Research (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places Environmental Science and Pollution Research in Q1 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; Environmental Science and Pollution Research is cited about 5.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 263. 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 Environmental Science and Pollution Research?
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 Environmental Science and Pollution Research. 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 Environmental Science and Pollution Research 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.
How long does Environmental Science and Pollution Research take to publish a paper?
Submission to acceptance for Environmental Science and Pollution Research takes about 161 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=38 papers). 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 Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
