“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).

Frequently asked
Is Safety and Health at Work a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Safety and Health at Work. 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 Safety and Health at Work indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Safety and Health at Work 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 Safety and Health at Work?
Papers in Safety and Health at Work are cited about 3.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 75. 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 Safety and Health at Work (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Safety and Health at Work is Q1 in all 4 of its subject categories. By category: Chemical Health and Safety: Q1, #4 of 20; Safety Research: Q1, #11 of 111; Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality: Q1, #37 of 221; Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health: Q1, #174 of 728. 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; Safety and Health at Work is cited about 3.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 75.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Safety and Health at Work?
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 Safety and Health at Work. 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 Safety and Health at Work 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Safety and Health at Work?
Article processing charge (APC): $1,750 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Safety and Health at Work take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Safety and Health at Work takes about ~38 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 Safety and Health at Work.
