Metrics

Scimago quartile: —
Cites per paper (2y): 1.0
SJR: —
h-index: 60

“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 School Leadership a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of School Leadership. 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 PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Journal of School Leadership indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Journal of School Leadership appears in: 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 School Leadership?

Papers in Journal of School Leadership are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 60. 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.

Is Journal of School Leadership open access?

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