“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, The Journal of Engineering is Q3 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. Its best category quartile is Q3.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Engineering and Power Technology | Q3 | #208 of 289 |
| Engineering (miscellaneous) | Q3 | #354 of 569 |
| Software | Q4 | #296 of 392 |
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. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).
The Journal of Engineering is Q3 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Energy Engineering and Power Technology: Q3, #208 of 289), with SJR 0.254 (Scimago) and an h-index of 42 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is The Journal of Engineering a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag The Journal of Engineering. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is The Journal of Engineering indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, The Journal of Engineering appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of The Journal of Engineering?
Papers in The Journal of Engineering are cited about 2.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 42. 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 Journal of Engineering (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, The Journal of Engineering is Q3 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Energy Engineering and Power Technology: Q3, #208 of 289; Engineering (miscellaneous): Q3, #354 of 569; Software: Q4, #296 of 392. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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; The Journal of Engineering is cited about 2.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 42.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of The Journal of Engineering?
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 Journal of Engineering. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Energy Engineering and Power Technology and 1 other category, 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 Journal of Engineering open access?
Our index records its access status as "gold". 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.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in The Journal of Engineering?
Article processing charge (APC): $2,000 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does The Journal of Engineering take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for The Journal of Engineering takes about ~24 wk — DOAJ self-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for The Journal of Engineering.
