“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 1.7 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 2.61 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).

Is OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying?

Papers in OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying are cited about 1.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 83. 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 OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying is Q2 in all 3 of its subject categories.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying?

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 OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying open access?

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.
