“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.
Data as of 8 November 2026 (venue index build).
Journal of Coastal Research has an h-index of 122 (OpenAlex). Listed in PubMed.

Scope
Frequently asked
Is Journal of Coastal Research a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Journal of Coastal Research. 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 PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Journal of Coastal Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Journal of Coastal Research appears in: 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 Coastal Research?
Papers in Journal of Coastal Research are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 122. 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.
Is Journal of Coastal Research open access?
Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.
