Metrics
“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.

Frequently asked
Is Perspectives on Psychological Science a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Perspectives on Psychological 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 Perspectives on Psychological Science indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Perspectives on Psychological 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 Perspectives on Psychological Science?
Papers in Perspectives on Psychological Science are cited about 9.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 244. 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 Perspectives on Psychological Science (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places Perspectives on Psychological Science in Q1 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Perspectives on Psychological Science is cited about 9.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 244. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Perspectives on Psychological 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 Perspectives on Psychological Science. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Perspectives on Psychological Science open access?
We hold no reliable open-access classification for Perspectives on Psychological Science. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.
