“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.

Scope
Frequently asked
Is Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning 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 the impact factor of Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning?
Papers in Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning are cited about 0.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 35. 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 Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning in Q2 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning is cited about 0.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 35. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning?
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 Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning 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.
Is Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning free to publish in?
Free to publish — DOAJ lists no article processing charge (APC). So there is no fee for authors to publish in Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning. Fee policies change — confirm on the journal's own site before relying on it.
How long does Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning takes about ~29 wk — DOAJ self-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Raumforschung und Raumordnung / Spatial Research and Planning.
