“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 Journal of the Geological Society of Japan a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan. 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. We hold no index-membership record for it, so verify independently.

Is The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

We hold no index-membership record for The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, TR Dizin, or SciELO. Absence in our data is not proof of absence from those indexes; check each directly.

What is the impact factor of The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan?

Papers in The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan are cited about 0.4 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 48. 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.

Is The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan 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.
