“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 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 Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care 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.

What is the impact factor of Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine?

Papers in Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine are cited about 4.8 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 101. 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 Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine is Q1 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Critical Care and Intensive Care Medicine: Q1, #32 of 126; Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine: Q2, #46 of 164. 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; Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine is cited about 4.8 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 101.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care 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 Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Critical Care and Intensive Care Medicine, 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 Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care 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.
