Publisher listed on Beall's archive (frozen 2017). Cross-check with DOAJ and Think.Check.Submit before submission.
This is a screening signal, not a verdict. How this check works.
Metrics
“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. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.
Indexing & access
Access status: gold. Where this comes from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic — confirm on the journal’s own site, especially regarding any article processing charge.
Scope
Frequently asked
Is Quantum a predatory journal?
Our screening flags Quantum as a possible predatory venue because its publisher appears on Beall's archive, which has been frozen since 2017. Treat this as a prompt to check carefully, not a verdict: verify against DOAJ and Think. Check. Submit before submitting.
Is Quantum indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Quantum appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is Quantum's impact?
Papers in Quantum are cited about 5.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 95. This is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric — and a citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
Is Quantum 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.
