“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.

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).

Frequently asked
Is Journal of Health Population and Nutrition a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Journal of Health Population and Nutrition. 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 Health Population and Nutrition indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Journal of Health Population and Nutrition 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 Health Population and Nutrition?
Papers in Journal of Health Population and Nutrition are cited about 4.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 84. 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 Health Population and Nutrition (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of Health Population and Nutrition is Q1 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Food Science: Q1, #75 of 422; Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health: Q1, #170 of 728; Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis: Q2, #48 of 160. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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 Health Population and Nutrition is cited about 4.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 84.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal of Health Population and Nutrition?
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 Health Population and Nutrition. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Food Science and 1 other category, 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 Health Population and Nutrition 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 Health Population and Nutrition take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Journal of Health Population and Nutrition takes about 6 days (median) — 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 Health Population and Nutrition.
