“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, Pattern Analysis and Applications is Q2 in all 2 of its subject categories.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition | Q2 | #41 of 130 |
| Artificial Intelligence | Q2 | #176 of 434 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)

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).
Pattern Analysis and Applications is Q2 in all 2 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition: Q2, #41 of 130), with SJR 0.662 (Scimago) and an h-index of 76 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Pattern Analysis and Applications a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Pattern Analysis and Applications. 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 Pattern Analysis and Applications indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Pattern Analysis and Applications 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 Pattern Analysis and Applications?
Papers in Pattern Analysis and Applications are cited about 2.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 76. 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 Pattern Analysis and Applications (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Pattern Analysis and Applications is Q2 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition: Q2, #41 of 130; Artificial Intelligence: Q2, #176 of 434. 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; Pattern Analysis and Applications is cited about 2.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 76.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Pattern Analysis and Applications?
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 Pattern Analysis and Applications. 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 Pattern Analysis and Applications 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.
