“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Optical and Quantum Electronics is listed in 3 subject categories without a quartile.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics | — | — |
| Electrical and Electronic Engineering | — | — |
| Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials | — | — |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)

The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category; “—” in the Quartile column means Scimago prints no quartile for that category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” in the Rank column means we hold no rank consistent with the printed quartile, or none at all. 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).
Optical and Quantum Electronics has an h-index of 104 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Optical and Quantum Electronics a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Optical and Quantum Electronics. 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 Optical and Quantum Electronics indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Optical and Quantum Electronics 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 Optical and Quantum Electronics?
Papers in Optical and Quantum Electronics are cited about 4.9 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 104. 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.
Is Optical and Quantum Electronics 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.
How long does Optical and Quantum Electronics take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Optical and Quantum Electronics takes about 4 days (median) — Publisher-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Optical and Quantum Electronics.
