“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 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology is Q2 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Agronomy and Crop Science: Q2, #163 of 428), with SJR 0.442 (Scimago) and an h-index of 50 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology. 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology?

Papers in Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology are cited about 2.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 50. 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Agronomy and Crop Science: Q2, #163 of 428; Plant Science: Q2, #235 of 566; Biotechnology: Q3, #188 of 320. 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology is cited about 2.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 50.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology?

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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Agronomy and Crop 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology open access?

Our index records its access status as "hybrid". 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology take to publish a paper?

Submission to acceptance for Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology takes about 194 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=22 papers). 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 Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology.
