“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.

OpenAlex counts about 1.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 3.46 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).
KONA Powder and Particle Journal is Q2 in all 4 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #157 of 369), with SJR 0.497 (Scimago) and an h-index of 58 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is KONA Powder and Particle Journal a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag KONA Powder and Particle Journal. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is KONA Powder and Particle Journal indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, KONA Powder and Particle Journal appears in: DOAJ, 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 KONA Powder and Particle Journal?
Papers in KONA Powder and Particle Journal are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 58. 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 KONA Powder and Particle Journal (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, KONA Powder and Particle Journal is Q2 in all 4 of its subject categories. By category: Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #157 of 369; Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #191 of 569; Chemistry (miscellaneous): Q2, #234 of 530; Materials Science (miscellaneous): Q2, #316 of 700. 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; KONA Powder and Particle Journal is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 58.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of KONA Powder and Particle Journal?
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 KONA Powder and Particle Journal. 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 KONA Powder and Particle Journal open access?
Our index records its access status as "gold". 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.
Is KONA Powder and Particle Journal free to publish in?
Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in KONA Powder and Particle Journal. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.
How long does KONA Powder and Particle Journal take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for KONA Powder and Particle Journal takes about ~14 wk — DOAJ self-reported. 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 KONA Powder and Particle Journal.
