“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).
World Journal of Engineering is Q3 in all 5 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology: Q3, #150 of 232), with SJR 0.309 (Scimago) and an h-index of 35 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked
Is World Journal of Engineering a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag World Journal of Engineering. 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, which is a positive signal.
Is World Journal of Engineering indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, World Journal of Engineering appears in: Scopus, Web of Science. 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 Engineering?
Papers in World Journal of Engineering are cited about 2.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 35. 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 Engineering (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, World Journal of Engineering is Q3 in all 5 of its subject categories. By category: Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology: Q3, #150 of 232; Mechanics of Materials: Q3, #248 of 412; Civil and Structural Engineering: Q3, #254 of 418; Mechanical Engineering: Q3, #409 of 696; Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Q3, #473 of 811. 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; World Journal of Engineering is cited about 2.7 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 35.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of World Journal of Engineering?
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 Engineering. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q3, 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 Engineering open access?
Our index records its access status as "subscription". 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.
