“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.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked

Is International Journal of Theoretical Physics a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag International Journal of Theoretical Physics. 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 Theoretical Physics indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, International Journal of Theoretical Physics 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 Theoretical Physics?

Papers in International Journal of Theoretical Physics are cited about 2.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 98. 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 Theoretical Physics (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places International Journal of Theoretical Physics in Q3 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 Theoretical Physics is cited about 2.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 98. 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 Theoretical Physics?

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 Theoretical Physics. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, 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 Theoretical Physics open access?

We hold no reliable open-access classification for International Journal of Theoretical Physics. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.

How long does International Journal of Theoretical Physics take to publish a paper?

Submission to acceptance for International Journal of Theoretical Physics takes about 95 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=16 papers). 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 International Journal of Theoretical Physics.
