“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 2.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 0.94 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).
Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA is Q3 in 7 of its 8 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous): Q3, #75 of 104), with SJR 0.257 (Scimago) and an h-index of 67 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA. 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 Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA 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 Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA?
Papers in Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA are cited about 2.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 67. 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 Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA is Q3 in 7 of its 8 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous): Q3, #75 of 104; Modeling and Simulation: Q3, #242 of 335; Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous): Q3, #247 of 347; Pharmacology: Q3, #248 of 339; Environmental Science (miscellaneous): Q3, #356 of 519; Applied Mathematics: Q3, #480 of 658; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,851 of 2,517; Neuroscience (miscellaneous): Q4, #155 of 184. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA is cited about 2.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 67.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA?
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 Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous) and 6 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 Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMA 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.
