“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.

Frequently asked

Is Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. 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, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine appears in: 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 Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine?

Papers in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine are cited about 3.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 157. 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 Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine: Q1, #16 of 148; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q1, #365 of 2,517. 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; Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine is cited about 3.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 157.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine?

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 Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. 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 Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine 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.
