“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.

What is the impact factor of Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung?
Papers in Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung are cited about 1.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q4, with an h-index of 29. 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 philosophische Forschung (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung is Q4 in Philosophy (#790 of 865 journals). 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 philosophische Forschung is cited about 1.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 29.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung?
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 philosophische Forschung. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q4, 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 philosophische Forschung 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.
