“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).

What is the impact factor of NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation?
Papers in NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation are cited about 2.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 76. 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 NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Aerospace Engineering: Q1, #22 of 159; Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Q1, #162 of 811. 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; NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation is cited about 2.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 76.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation?
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 NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation. 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 NAVIGATION Journal of the Institute of Navigation open access?
