“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.

OpenAlex counts about 1.2 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.85 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” means we hold no rank consistent with that quartile. The document count is what Scopus indexed that year, which can be lower than a journal's full output. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).
Journal of General and Family Medicine is Q2 in 1 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Family Practice: Q2, #24 of 62), with SJR 0.48 (Scimago) and an h-index of 28 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Journal of General and Family Medicine a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Journal of General and Family Medicine. 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.
Is Journal of General and Family Medicine indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Journal of General and Family Medicine appears in: DOAJ, 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 General and Family Medicine?
Papers in Journal of General and Family Medicine are cited about 1.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 28. 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 General and Family Medicine (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of General and Family Medicine is Q2 in 1 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 2. By category: Family Practice: Q2, #24 of 62; Geriatrics and Gerontology: Q3, #89 of 126; Internal Medicine: Q3, #101 of 181. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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 General and Family Medicine is cited about 1.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 28.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal of General and Family Medicine?
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 General and Family Medicine. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Family Practice, 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 General and Family Medicine 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.
How long does Journal of General and Family Medicine take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Journal of General and Family Medicine takes about ~48 wk — DOAJ self-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 General and Family Medicine.
