“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 Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy a predatory journal?

It is listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

What is the impact factor of Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy?

Papers in Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy are cited about 1.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 68. 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.

By category: Occupational Therapy: Q1, #5 of 33; Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health: Q2, #284 of 728. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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; Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy is cited about 1.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 68.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy?

The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Occupational Therapy, 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.
