“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).

Journal Of Big Data is Q1 in all 4 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Hardware and Architecture: Q1, #7 of 176), with SJR 1.964 (Scimago) and an h-index of 125 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Journal Of Big Data a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal Of Big Data. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Journal Of Big Data indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal Of Big Data appears in: DOAJ, 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 Journal Of Big Data?

Papers in Journal Of Big Data are cited about 15.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 125. 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 Journal Of Big Data (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal Of Big Data is Q1 in all 4 of its subject categories. By category: Hardware and Architecture: Q1, #7 of 176; Information Systems and Management: Q1, #16 of 175; Computer Networks and Communications: Q1, #24 of 423; Information Systems: Q1, #30 of 434. 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; Journal Of Big Data is cited about 15.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 125.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal Of Big Data?

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 Journal Of Big Data. 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 Journal Of Big Data 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.

What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Journal Of Big Data?

Article processing charge (APC): €1,990 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.

How long does Journal Of Big Data take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Journal Of Big Data takes about 57 days (median) — Publisher-reported. 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 Journal Of Big Data.
