“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 2.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 4.00 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).

New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development is Q1 in all 3 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Social Psychology: Q1, #71 of 308), with SJR 0.995 (Scimago) and an h-index of 114 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Papers in New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development are cited about 2.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 114.

A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.

What Scimago quartile is New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
