Frequently asked

Is Journal of Bioethical Inquiry a predatory journal?

Is Journal of Bioethical Inquiry indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of Journal of Bioethical Inquiry?

Papers in Journal of Bioethical Inquiry are cited about 1.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 57. 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 Bioethical Inquiry (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Journal of Bioethical Inquiry 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; Journal of Bioethical Inquiry is cited about 1.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 57. 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 Journal of Bioethical Inquiry?

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 Bioethical Inquiry. 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 Bioethical Inquiry open access?

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

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.
