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.

The AI Journal Finder ranks the best-matched journals for your paper’s topic — with tier, open access, citation rate and predatory flags. Free to start.
Indexing & access
Access status: unknown. 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.

Frequently asked
Is International Journal of Systems Science a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag International Journal of Systems 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 Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is International Journal of Systems Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, International Journal of Systems Science 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 International Journal of Systems Science?
Papers in International Journal of Systems Science are cited about 3.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 109. 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 Systems Science (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places International Journal of Systems Science 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; International Journal of Systems Science is cited about 3.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 109. 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 International Journal of Systems Science?
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 Systems Science. 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 Systems Science open access?
We hold no reliable open-access classification for International Journal of Systems Science. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.
