“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).

Genetics Selection Evolution is Q1 in 3 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Animal Science and Zoology: Q1, #27 of 529), with SJR 1.108 (Scimago) and an h-index of 129 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Genetics Selection Evolution a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Genetics Selection Evolution. 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 Selection Evolution indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Genetics Selection Evolution 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 Selection Evolution?

Papers in Genetics Selection Evolution are cited about 4.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 129. 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 Genetics Selection Evolution (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Genetics Selection Evolution is Q1 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Animal Science and Zoology: Q1, #27 of 529; Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics: Q1, #86 of 752; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q1, #429 of 2,517; Genetics: Q2, #114 of 370. 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; Genetics Selection Evolution is cited about 4.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 129.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Genetics Selection Evolution?

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 Genetics Selection Evolution. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Animal Science and Zoology 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 Genetics Selection Evolution 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 Selection Evolution take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Genetics Selection Evolution takes about 17 days (median) — Publisher-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 Selection Evolution.
