“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).
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is Q1 in 1 of its 5 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology: Q1, #19 of 78), with SJR 0.908 (Scimago) and an h-index of 225 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Frontiers in Human Neuroscience a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Frontiers in Human Neuroscience indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience appears in: DOAJ, 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 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience?
Papers in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience are cited about 3.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 225. 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 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is Q1 in 1 of its 5 subject categories, Q2 in 3 and Q3 in 1. By category: Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology: Q1, #19 of 78; Behavioral Neuroscience: Q2, #32 of 94; Neurology: Q2, #73 of 204; Psychiatry and Mental Health: Q2, #194 of 605; Biological Psychiatry: Q3, #30 of 55. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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; Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is cited about 3.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 225.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience?
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 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology, 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 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience?
Article processing charge (APC): 3,150 CHF per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Frontiers in Human Neuroscience take to publish a paper?
Submission to acceptance for Frontiers in Human Neuroscience takes about 74 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=33 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 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
