“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.

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).

Frequently asked
Is International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials. 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, which is a positive signal.
Is International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials appears in: 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 International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials?
Papers in International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials are cited about 11.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 78. 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 Minerals Metallurgy and Materials (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials is Q1 in all 5 of its subject categories. By category: Metals and Alloys: Q1, #14 of 181; Geochemistry and Petrology: Q1, #19 of 163; Materials Chemistry: Q1, #32 of 331; Mechanics of Materials: Q1, #33 of 412; Mechanical Engineering: Q1, #43 of 696. 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 Minerals Metallurgy and Materials is cited about 11.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 78.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials?
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 Minerals Metallurgy and Materials. 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 International Journal of Minerals Metallurgy and Materials open access?
Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.
