Frequently asked

Is Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. 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, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology appears in: 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 Cosmetic Dermatology?

Papers in Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology are cited about 2.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 91. 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 Cosmetic Dermatology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 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 Cosmetic Dermatology is cited about 2.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 91. 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 Cosmetic Dermatology?

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 Cosmetic Dermatology. 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 Cosmetic Dermatology open access?

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

How long does Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology takes about 35 days (avg) — 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 Cosmetic Dermatology.
