“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).
Noise Control Engineering Journal is Q3 in 1 of its 7 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering: Q3, #293 of 398), with SJR 0.185 (Scimago) and an h-index of 45 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Noise Control Engineering Journal a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Noise Control Engineering Journal. 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 Noise Control Engineering Journal indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Noise Control Engineering Journal 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 Noise Control Engineering Journal?
Papers in Noise Control Engineering Journal are cited about 0.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 45. 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 Noise Control Engineering Journal (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Noise Control Engineering Journal is Q3 in 1 of its 7 subject categories and Q4 in the other 6. By category: Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering: Q3, #293 of 398; Acoustics and Ultrasonics: Q4, #39 of 46; Automotive Engineering: Q4, #99 of 130; Aerospace Engineering: Q4, #138 of 159; Building and Construction: Q4, #205 of 239; Mechanical Engineering: Q4, #570 of 696; Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health: Q4, #601 of 728. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; Noise Control Engineering Journal is cited about 0.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 45.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Noise Control Engineering Journal?
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 Noise Control Engineering Journal. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, 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 Noise Control Engineering Journal open access?
Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.
