“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 0.7 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.13 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).
Latin American Research Review is Q1 in 5 of its 11 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Literature and Literary Theory: Q1, #28 of 1,210), with SJR 0.387 (Scimago) and an h-index of 95 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Latin American Research Review a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Latin American Research Review. 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 Latin American Research Review indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of Latin American Research Review?
Papers in Latin American Research Review are cited about 0.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 95. 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 Latin American Research Review (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Latin American Research Review is Q1 in 5 of its 11 subject categories and Q2 in the other 6.

Its best category quartile is Q1. 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; Latin American Research Review is cited about 0.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 95.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Latin American Research Review?
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 Latin American Research Review. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Literature and Literary Theory and 4 other categories, 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 Latin American Research Review 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.
