“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 2.0 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 3.04 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).

Frequently asked
Is Methods of Information in Medicine a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Methods of Information in Medicine. 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 Methods of Information in Medicine indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Methods of Information in Medicine 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 Methods of Information in Medicine?
Papers in Methods of Information in Medicine are cited about 2.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 97. 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 Methods of Information in Medicine (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Methods of Information in Medicine is Q1 in 1 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 2. By category: Advanced and Specialized Nursing: Q1, #10 of 74; Health Information Management: Q3, #34 of 62; Health Informatics: Q3, #85 of 152. 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; Methods of Information in Medicine is cited about 2.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 97.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Methods of Information in Medicine?
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 Methods of Information in Medicine. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Advanced and Specialized Nursing, 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 Methods of Information in Medicine 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.
