“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.

Frequently asked

Is Journal of Political Science Education a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of Political Science Education. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is Journal of Political Science Education indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal of Political Science Education appears in: Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Journal of Political Science Education?

Papers in Journal of Political Science Education are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 44. 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 Political Science Education (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places Journal of Political Science Education in Q2 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 Political Science Education is cited about 1.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 44. 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 Political Science Education?

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 Political Science Education. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 Political Science Education open access?

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

How long does Journal of Political Science Education take to publish a paper?

Submission to acceptance for Journal of Political Science Education takes about 182 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=20 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 Political Science Education.
