“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.

Frequently asked
Is Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases. 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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases 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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases?
Papers in Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases are cited about 0.9 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 67. 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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases 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; Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases is cited about 0.9 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 67. 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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases?
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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases. 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 Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases 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.
