“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.

What is the impact factor of Prehospital Emergency Care?
Papers in Prehospital Emergency Care are cited about 2.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 94. 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 Prehospital Emergency Care (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Prehospital Emergency Care is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Emergency Nursing: Q1, #3 of 32; Emergency Medicine: Q1, #11 of 115.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Prehospital Emergency Care?
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 Prehospital Emergency Care. 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 Prehospital Emergency Care 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.
