Metrics
“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.
Indexing & access
Access status: gold. Where this comes from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic — confirm on the journal’s own site, especially regarding any article processing charge.
Scope
Frequently asked
Is Heritage Science a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Heritage Science. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Heritage Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Heritage Science appears in: DOAJ, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is Heritage Science's impact?
Papers in Heritage Science are cited about 8.4 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 57. This is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric — and a citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
Is Heritage Science 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.
