“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 0.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 1.58 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).

Physical Therapy Reviews is Q2 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Rehabilitation: Q2, #80 of 175), with SJR 0.445 (Scimago) and an h-index of 50 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Physical Therapy Reviews a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Physical Therapy Reviews. 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 Physical Therapy Reviews indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Physical Therapy Reviews 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 Physical Therapy Reviews?

Papers in Physical Therapy Reviews are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 50. 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 Physical Therapy Reviews (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Physical Therapy Reviews is Q2 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Rehabilitation: Q2, #80 of 175; Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation: Q2, #128 of 260; Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Q3, #200 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; Physical Therapy Reviews is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 50.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Physical Therapy Reviews?

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 Physical Therapy Reviews. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in 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 Physical Therapy Reviews 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 Physical Therapy Reviews take to publish a paper?

Submission to acceptance for Physical Therapy Reviews takes about 344 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=20 papers). 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 Physical Therapy Reviews.
