“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Genetics Research is listed in 2 subject categories without a quartile.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Genetics | — | — |
| Medicine (miscellaneous) | — | — |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 2.09
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 25
OpenAlex counts about 0.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.09 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category; “—” in the Quartile column means Scimago prints no quartile for that category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” in the Rank column means we hold no rank consistent with the printed quartile, or none at all. 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).

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.

Frequently asked
Is Genetics Research a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Genetics 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Genetics Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Genetics Research 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 Genetics Research?
Papers in Genetics Research are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 142. 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.
Is Genetics Research 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.
How long does Genetics Research take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Genetics Research takes about ~7 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 Genetics Research.
