“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 Integrative Medicine Research a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Integrative Medicine 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 Integrative Medicine Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Integrative Medicine 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 Integrative Medicine Research?

Papers in Integrative Medicine Research are cited about 2.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 53. 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 Integrative Medicine Research (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Integrative Medicine Research 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; Integrative Medicine Research is cited about 2.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 53. 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 Integrative Medicine Research?

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 Integrative Medicine Research. 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 Integrative Medicine 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.

Is Integrative Medicine Research free to publish in?

Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Integrative Medicine Research. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.

How long does Integrative Medicine Research take to publish a paper?

Submission to publication for Integrative Medicine Research takes about ~19 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 Integrative Medicine Research.
