“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 1.4 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 0.60 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).

Frequently asked
Is Psychoanalysis Culture & Society a predatory journal?

Is Psychoanalysis Culture & Society indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of Psychoanalysis Culture & Society?
Papers in Psychoanalysis Culture & Society are cited about 1.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 36. 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 Psychoanalysis Culture & Society (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Psychoanalysis Culture & Society is Q2 in 1 of its 5 subject categories, Q3 in 2 and Q4 in 2.

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; Psychoanalysis Culture & Society is cited about 1.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 36.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Psychoanalysis Culture & Society?
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 Psychoanalysis Culture & Society. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Cultural Studies, 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 Psychoanalysis Culture & Society 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.
