“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.

OpenAlex counts about 2.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 6.13 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).

International Journal of Construction Management is Q1 in 3 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Architecture: Q1, #9 of 202), with SJR 0.945 (Scimago) and an h-index of 73 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked

Is International Journal of Construction Management a predatory journal?

Is International Journal of Construction Management indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of International Journal of Construction Management?

Papers in International Journal of Construction Management are cited about 2.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 73. 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 International Journal of Construction Management (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, International Journal of Construction Management is Q1 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Architecture: Q1, #9 of 202; Building and Construction: Q1, #37 of 239; Strategy and Management: Q1, #122 of 495; Management of Technology and Innovation: Q2, #80 of 295. 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; International Journal of Construction Management is cited about 2.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 73.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of International Journal of Construction Management?

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 International Journal of Construction Management. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Architecture 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 International Journal of Construction Management open access?
