“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 The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law. 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, which is a positive signal.
Is The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law appears in: Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law?
Papers in The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law are cited about 0.9 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 45. 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 The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
Scimago places The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law in Q1 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law is cited about 0.9 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 45. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law?
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 The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law. 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 The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law open access?
We hold no reliable open-access classification for The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.
