“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 0.5 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 0.24 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).

QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY is Q3 in 3 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Surfaces, Coatings and Films: Q3, #106 of 142), with SJR 0.223 (Scimago) and an h-index of 28 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus.

Frequently asked

Is QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY?

Papers in QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY are cited about 0.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 28. 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 QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY is Q3 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Surfaces, Coatings and Films: Q3, #106 of 142; Metals and Alloys: Q3, #118 of 181; Mechanical Engineering: Q3, #514 of 696; Mechanics of Materials: Q4. 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; QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY is cited about 0.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 28.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING 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 QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN WELDING SOCIETY.
