Frequently asked

Is World Journal of Emergency Surgery a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag World Journal of Emergency Surgery. 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, World Journal of Emergency Surgery 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery?

Papers in World Journal of Emergency Surgery are cited about 5.7 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

Scimago places World Journal of Emergency Surgery in Q1 for its subject category. Quartiles split the journals in a field into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; World Journal of Emergency Surgery is cited about 5.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 100. A journal is ranked per subject category, so one spanning several fields can sit in different quartiles depending on the category.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of World Journal of Emergency Surgery?

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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery?

Article processing charge (APC): €3,390 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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for World Journal of Emergency Surgery takes about 6 days (median) — Publisher-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 World Journal of Emergency Surgery.
