“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).

Frequently asked
Is Pediatric Exercise Science a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Pediatric Exercise Science. 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 Pediatric Exercise Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Pediatric Exercise Science 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 Pediatric Exercise Science?
Papers in Pediatric Exercise Science are cited about 1.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 99. 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 Pediatric Exercise Science (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Pediatric Exercise Science is Q2 in 2 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 2. By category: Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation: Q2, #102 of 260; Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health: Q2, #122 of 350; Sports Science: Q3, #77 of 121; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Q3, #174 of 340. Its best category quartile is Q2. 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; Pediatric Exercise Science is cited about 1.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 99.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Pediatric Exercise Science?
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 Pediatric Exercise Science. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation and 1 other category, 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 Pediatric Exercise Science 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.
