“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 Journal of Computer Science a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of Computer Science. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is Journal of Computer Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal of Computer Science appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Journal of Computer Science?

Papers in Journal of Computer Science are cited about 0.9 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q4, with an h-index of 55. 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 Computer Science (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Journal of Computer Science in Q4 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 Computer Science is cited about 0.9 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 55. 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 Computer Science?

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 Computer Science. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q4, 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 Computer Science open access?

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