“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).
The Scientific World JOURNAL is Q2 in all 3 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous): Q2, #138 of 347), with SJR 0.661 (Scimago) and an h-index of 182 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, PubMed.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold.

Frequently asked
Is The Scientific World JOURNAL a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag The Scientific World JOURNAL. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is The Scientific World JOURNAL indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, The Scientific World JOURNAL appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of The Scientific World JOURNAL?
Papers in The Scientific World JOURNAL are cited about 3.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 182. 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 Scientific World JOURNAL (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, The Scientific World JOURNAL is Q2 in all 3 of its subject categories. By category: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous): Q2, #138 of 347; Environmental Science (miscellaneous): Q2, #187 of 519; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q2, #994 of 2,517. 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 Scientific World JOURNAL is cited about 3.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 182.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of The Scientific World JOURNAL?
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 Scientific World JOURNAL. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 Scientific World JOURNAL 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.
How long does The Scientific World JOURNAL take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for The Scientific World JOURNAL takes about ~17 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 Scientific World JOURNAL.
