“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 The Reading Teacher a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag The Reading Teacher. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is The Reading Teacher indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, The Reading Teacher appears in: 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 Reading Teacher?
Papers in The Reading Teacher are cited about 1.4 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 The Reading Teacher (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, The Reading Teacher is Q1 in 1 of its 3 subject categories and Q2 in the other 2. By category: Linguistics and Language: Q1, #168 of 1,403; Pharmacology (medical): Q2, #134 of 286; Pharmacology: Q2, #167 of 339. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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 Reading Teacher is cited about 1.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 100.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of The Reading Teacher?
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 Reading Teacher. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Linguistics and Language, 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 Reading Teacher 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.
