“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).

Physics and Chemistry of Solid State is Q4 in all 3 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Physical and Theoretical Chemistry: Q4, #159 of 191), with SJR 0.228 (Scimago) and an h-index of 21 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked

Is Physics and Chemistry of Solid State a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Physics and Chemistry of Solid State. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, which is a positive signal.

Is Physics and Chemistry of Solid State indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Physics and Chemistry of Solid State appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Physics and Chemistry of Solid State?

Papers in Physics and Chemistry of Solid State are cited about 0.9 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q4, with an h-index of 21. 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 Physics and Chemistry of Solid State (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Physics and Chemistry of Solid State is Q4 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Physical and Theoretical Chemistry: Q4, #159 of 191; Condensed Matter Physics: Q4, #354 of 443; Materials Science (miscellaneous): Q4, #535 of 700. 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; Physics and Chemistry of Solid State is cited about 0.9 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 21.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Physics and Chemistry of Solid State?

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 Physics and Chemistry of Solid State. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q4, 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 Physics and Chemistry of Solid State open access?

Our index records its access status as "gold". 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.

Is Physics and Chemistry of Solid State free to publish in?

Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Physics and Chemistry of Solid State. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.

How long does Physics and Chemistry of Solid State take to publish a paper?

Submission to publication for Physics and Chemistry of Solid State takes about ~23 wk — DOAJ self-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 Physics and Chemistry of Solid State.
