How to find list of Q1 journals? ›

To determine if a journal is in Q1, you need to check its impact factor or CiteScore. The impact factor reflects how many times articles from the journal have been cited in other scientific publications over a certain period of time. A journal's Q1 is determined by its impact factor.

Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group. The most prestigious journals within a subject area are those occupying the first quartile, Q1.

Q1 represents top 25% SJR distribution, Q2 represents middle-high SJR distribution (between 50% and top 25%), Q3 represents middle-low SJR distribution (between 75% to top 50%), and Q4 represents the lowest SJR distribution (bottom 25% SJR distribution).

Q1 is occupied by the top 25% of journals in the list; Q2 is occupied by journals in the 25 to 50% group; Q3 is occupied by journals in the 50 to 75% group and Q4 is occupied by journals in the 75 to 100% group.

Q1 journal lists are mainly ranking the journal. Q1 is a derivative of each journal in each of the subject groups. A list of Q1 journals actually denotes the ranking among the top 25% of journals. Each journal paper is divided into 4 quartiles.
