“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).

Frequently asked
Is Kew Bulletin a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Kew Bulletin. 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 Kew Bulletin indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Kew Bulletin 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 Kew Bulletin?
Papers in Kew Bulletin are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 121. 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 Kew Bulletin (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Kew Bulletin is Q2 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Plant Science: Q2, #272 of 566; Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics: Q3, #403 of 752. 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; Kew Bulletin is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 121.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Kew Bulletin?
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 Kew Bulletin. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Plant Science, 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 Kew Bulletin 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.
