“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.

OpenAlex counts about 2.0 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 3.34 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
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).
Supportive Care in Cancer is Q1 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Oncology (nursing): Q1, #5 of 23), with SJR 1.03 (Scimago) and an h-index of 174 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

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.

The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Oncology (nursing) and 1 other category, derived from Scopus citation data.
