“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.

Is Journal of Children s Orthopaedics a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Journal of Children s Orthopaedics. 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.

What is the impact factor of Journal of Children s Orthopaedics?
Papers in Journal of Children s Orthopaedics are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 70. 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 Children s Orthopaedics (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of Children s Orthopaedics is Q2 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health: Q2, #112 of 350; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Q2, #154 of 340. 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 Children s Orthopaedics is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 70.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal of Children s Orthopaedics?
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 Children s Orthopaedics. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 Children s Orthopaedics 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 Children s Orthopaedics?
Article processing charge (APC): $2,000 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.
