“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).
Future Medicinal Chemistry is Q3 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Drug Discovery: Q3, #96 of 161), with SJR 0.429 (Scimago) and an h-index of 112 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Future Medicinal Chemistry a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Future Medicinal Chemistry. 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Future Medicinal Chemistry 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry?
Papers in Future Medicinal Chemistry are cited about 3.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 112. 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Future Medicinal Chemistry is Q3 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Drug Discovery: Q3, #96 of 161; Pharmacology: Q3, #212 of 339; Molecular Medicine: Q4, #138 of 181. 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; Future Medicinal Chemistry is cited about 3.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 112.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Future Medicinal Chemistry?
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 Future Medicinal Chemistry. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Drug Discovery and 1 other category, 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry open access?
Our index records its access status as "unknown". 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry take to publish a paper?
Submission to acceptance for Future Medicinal Chemistry takes about 143 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=20 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 Future Medicinal Chemistry.
