New Labor Forum

Our screening does not flag New Labor Forum. 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, which is a positive signal.

Per our venue index, New Labor Forum appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

Papers in New Labor Forum are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 25. 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.

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, New Labor Forum is Q3 in all 4 of its subject categories. By category: Industrial Relations: Q3, #46 of 62; Urban Studies: Q3, #165 of 283; Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous): Q3, #329 of 519; Social Sciences (miscellaneous): Q3, #539 of 937. 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; New Labor Forum is cited about 0.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 25.

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 New Labor Forum. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, 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.

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.
