“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik is Q1 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. Its best category quartile is Q1.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Biophysics | Q1 | #39 of 159 |
| Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging | Q1 | #87 of 360 |
| Radiological and Ultrasound Technology | Q2 | #20 of 67 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 4.62
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 91
OpenAlex counts about 1.1 citations per paper over two years; Scopus, through Scimago, counts 4.62 per document. The two databases index different journals, documents and citations, so the figures differ. Neither is a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
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).
Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik is Q1 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Biophysics: Q1, #39 of 159), with SJR 0.84 (Scimago) and an h-index of 50 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik. 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik?
Papers in Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik are cited about 1.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 50. 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik is Q1 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Biophysics: Q1, #39 of 159; Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging: Q1, #87 of 360; Radiological and Ultrasound Technology: Q2, #20 of 67. 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; Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik is cited about 1.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 50.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik?
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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Biophysics and 1 other category, 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik?
Article processing charge (APC): $2,500 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik takes about ~100 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 Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik.
