“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.

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).

Frequently asked
Is Fish Physiology and Biochemistry a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Fish Physiology and Biochemistry. 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Fish Physiology and Biochemistry 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry?
Papers in Fish Physiology and Biochemistry are cited about 3.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 121. 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Fish Physiology and Biochemistry is Q2 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Aquatic Science: Q2, #69 of 259; Biochemistry: Q2, #224 of 449; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q2, #997 of 2,517; Physiology: Q3, #105 of 198. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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; Fish Physiology and Biochemistry is cited about 3.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 121.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Fish Physiology and Biochemistry?
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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Aquatic Science and 2 other categories, 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry take to publish a paper?
Submission to acceptance for Fish Physiology and Biochemistry takes about 169 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=23 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 Fish Physiology and Biochemistry.
