“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.

Frequently asked

Is Journal of the ACM a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Journal of the ACM. 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 the ACM indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

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