“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, Green Energy & Environment is Q1 in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment (#20 of 305 journals).
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment | Q1 | #20 of 305 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)

OpenAlex counts about 8.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 16.71 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. 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).
Green Energy & Environment is Q1 in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment (2025 edition, #20 of 305 journals), with SJR 2.681 (Scimago) and an h-index of 95 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is Green Energy & Environment a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Green Energy & Environment. 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 Green Energy & Environment indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Green Energy & Environment 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 Green Energy & Environment?
Papers in Green Energy & Environment are cited about 8.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 95. 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 Green Energy & Environment (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Green Energy & Environment is Q1 in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment (#20 of 305 journals). 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; Green Energy & Environment is cited about 8.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 95.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Green Energy & Environment?
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 Green Energy & Environment. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Green Energy & Environment 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 Green Energy & Environment take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Green Energy & Environment takes about 8 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.
What is the acceptance rate of Green Energy & Environment?
Green Energy & Environment reports an acceptance rate of about 8% — Publisher-reported. Acceptance rates vary by article type and change from year to year, and a publisher-stated figure is the journal's own, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee.
