“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.

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).
Microgravity Science and Technology is Q2 in 1 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #282 of 569), with SJR 0.32 (Scimago) and an h-index of 48 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Microgravity Science and Technology a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Microgravity Science and Technology. 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 Microgravity Science and Technology indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Microgravity Science and Technology 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 Microgravity Science and Technology?
Papers in Microgravity Science and Technology are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 48. 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 Microgravity Science and Technology (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Microgravity Science and Technology is Q2 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 3. By category: Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #282 of 569; Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous): Q3, #179 of 320; Modeling and Simulation: Q3, #215 of 335; Applied Mathematics: Q3, #417 of 658. 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; Microgravity Science and Technology is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 48.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Microgravity Science and Technology?
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 Microgravity Science and Technology. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Engineering (miscellaneous), 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 Microgravity Science and Technology 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.
