“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).

Folia Malacologica is Q3 in 1 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Nature and Landscape Conservation: Q3, #172 of 230), with SJR 0.208 (Scimago) and an h-index of 26 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked

Is Folia Malacologica a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Folia Malacologica. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, which is a positive signal.

Is Folia Malacologica indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Folia Malacologica appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Folia Malacologica?

Papers in Folia Malacologica are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 26. 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 Folia Malacologica (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Folia Malacologica is Q3 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q4 in the other 3. By category: Nature and Landscape Conservation: Q3, #172 of 230; Ecology: Q4, #384 of 496; Animal Science and Zoology: Q4, #405 of 529; Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics: Q4, #614 of 752. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; Folia Malacologica is cited about 0.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 26.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Folia Malacologica?

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 Folia Malacologica. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Nature and Landscape Conservation, 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 Folia Malacologica 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.

Is Folia Malacologica free to publish in?

Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Folia Malacologica. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.

How long does Folia Malacologica take to publish a paper?

Submission to publication for Folia Malacologica takes about ~12 wk — DOAJ self-reported. 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 Folia Malacologica.
