“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of Poetry Therapy is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Rehabilitation | Q3 | #97 of 175 |
| Clinical Psychology | Q3 | #205 of 322 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 1.16
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 91
OpenAlex counts about 0.7 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.16 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).

What is the impact factor of Journal of Poetry Therapy?
Papers in Journal of Poetry Therapy are cited about 0.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 29. 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 Poetry Therapy (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Journal of Poetry Therapy is Q3 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Rehabilitation: Q3, #97 of 175; Clinical Psychology: Q3, #205 of 322.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Journal of Poetry Therapy?
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 Poetry Therapy. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, 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 Poetry Therapy 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.
