“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, Molecular Metabolism is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Biology | Q1 | #35 of 297 |
| Molecular Biology | Q1 | #40 of 425 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 6.24
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 191
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).
Molecular Metabolism is Q1 in all 2 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Cell Biology: Q1, #35 of 297), with SJR 2.918 (Scimago) and an h-index of 141 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked
Is Molecular Metabolism a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Molecular Metabolism. 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 Molecular Metabolism indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Molecular Metabolism appears in: DOAJ, 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 Molecular Metabolism?
Papers in Molecular Metabolism are cited about 7.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 141. 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 Molecular Metabolism (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Molecular Metabolism is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Cell Biology: Q1, #35 of 297; Molecular Biology: Q1, #40 of 425. 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; Molecular Metabolism is cited about 7.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 141.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Molecular Metabolism?
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 Molecular Metabolism. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Molecular Metabolism 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Molecular Metabolism?
Article processing charge (APC): $4,560 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Molecular Metabolism take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Molecular Metabolism takes about ~12 wk — DOAJ self-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Molecular Metabolism.
