“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.

Frequently asked

Is IEEE Wireless Communications a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag IEEE Wireless Communications. 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 IEEE Wireless Communications indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, IEEE Wireless Communications 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 IEEE Wireless Communications?

Papers in IEEE Wireless Communications are cited about 7.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 205. 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 IEEE Wireless Communications (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places IEEE Wireless Communications in Q1 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; IEEE Wireless Communications is cited about 7.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 205. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of IEEE Wireless Communications?

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 IEEE Wireless Communications. 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 IEEE Wireless Communications open access?

We hold no reliable open-access classification for IEEE Wireless Communications. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.
