“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 Social Psychology of Education a predatory journal?

Is Social Psychology of Education indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

What is the impact factor of Social Psychology of Education?
Papers in Social Psychology of Education are cited about 3.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 100. 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 Social Psychology of Education (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Social Psychology of Education is Q1 in all 4 of its subject categories. By category: Social Psychology: Q1, #43 of 308; Developmental and Educational Psychology: Q1, #61 of 380; Sociology and Political Science: Q1, #120 of 1,477; Education: Q1, #151 of 1,628. 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; Social Psychology of Education is cited about 3.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 100.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Social Psychology of Education?
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 Social Psychology of Education. 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 Social Psychology of Education 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.
How long does Social Psychology of Education take to publish a paper?
