“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 Theory and Practice in Language Studies a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Theory and Practice in Language Studies. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is Theory and Practice in Language Studies indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Theory and Practice in Language Studies appears in: Scopus. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of Theory and Practice in Language Studies?

Papers in Theory and Practice in Language Studies are cited about 1.0 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 55. 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 Theory and Practice in Language Studies (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Theory and Practice in Language Studies is Q1 in 1 of its 3 subject categories, Q2 in 1 and Q3 in 1.

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; Theory and Practice in Language Studies is cited about 1.0 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 55.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Theory and Practice in Language Studies?

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 Theory and Practice in Language Studies. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Literature and Literary Theory, 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 Theory and Practice in Language Studies 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.
