“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. Its best category quartile is Q2.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics (miscellaneous) | Q2 | #188 of 499 |
| Software | Q2 | #193 of 392 |
| Management Science and Operations Research | Q3 | #114 of 217 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 1.15
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 28
OpenAlex counts about 1.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.15 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 Methods of Operations Research is Q2 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Mathematics (miscellaneous): Q2, #188 of 499), with SJR 0.477 (Scimago) and an h-index of 77 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Mathematical Methods of Operations Research a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Mathematical Methods of Operations Research. 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 Methods of Operations Research indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 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 Methods of Operations Research?
Papers in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 77. 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 Methods of Operations Research (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Mathematics (miscellaneous): Q2, #188 of 499; Software: Q2, #193 of 392; Management Science and Operations Research: Q3, #114 of 217. 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; Mathematical Methods of Operations Research is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 77.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Mathematical Methods of Operations Research?
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 Methods of Operations Research. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Mathematics (miscellaneous) and 1 other category, 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 Methods of Operations Research 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.
