“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.

Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
0.53

OpenAlex counts about 0.8 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 0.53 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.

Practical Diabetes is Q3 in 1 of its 2 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Internal Medicine: Q3, #122 of 181), with SJR 0.258 (Scimago) and an h-index of 37 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked

Is Practical Diabetes a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Practical Diabetes. 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 Practical Diabetes indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Practical Diabetes 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 Practical Diabetes?

Papers in Practical Diabetes are cited about 0.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 37. 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 Practical Diabetes (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Practical Diabetes is Q3 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Internal Medicine: Q3, #122 of 181; Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism: Q4, #194 of 249. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; Practical Diabetes is cited about 0.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 37.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Practical Diabetes?

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 Practical Diabetes. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Internal Medicine, 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 Practical Diabetes open access?

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