“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.

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).

Research in Nondestructive Evaluation is Q2 in 2 of its 4 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Mechanics of Materials: Q2, #201 of 412), with SJR 0.411 (Scimago) and an h-index of 42 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked

Is Research in Nondestructive Evaluation a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Research in Nondestructive Evaluation. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is Research in Nondestructive Evaluation indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Research in Nondestructive Evaluation appears in: Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation?

Papers in Research in Nondestructive Evaluation are cited about 1.6 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 42. 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 Research in Nondestructive Evaluation (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Research in Nondestructive Evaluation is Q2 in 2 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 2. By category: Mechanics of Materials: Q2, #201 of 412; Mechanical Engineering: Q2, #315 of 696; Condensed Matter Physics: Q3, #228 of 443; Materials Science (miscellaneous): Q3, #378 of 700. 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; Research in Nondestructive Evaluation is cited about 1.6 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 42.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation?

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 Research in Nondestructive Evaluation. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Mechanics of Materials and 1 other category, 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 Research in Nondestructive Evaluation open access?

Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.

How long does Research in Nondestructive Evaluation take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for Research in Nondestructive Evaluation takes about 70 days (median) — Publisher-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.

What is the acceptance rate of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation?

Research in Nondestructive Evaluation reports an acceptance rate of about 27% — Publisher-reported. Acceptance rates vary by article type and change from year to year, and a publisher-stated figure is the journal's own, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee.
