Web of Science Q1 journals

Journal Ranking is measured based on various indicators including the number of citations, prominence in the subject area, and quality of published material. One of the important journal metrics is Journal Quartile. Both Scopus and Clarivate (Web of Science) Calculate the Journal Quartile based on their database.

Scopus and Web of Science have different databases, so the quartile issued by them may be different. In this blog post, We will be providing the list of Web of Science Q1 journals. Moreover, We will also describe how to find the Quartile of Journals.

Also, visit the Web of science journal ranking (JCR)

Journals are divided into four quartiles: Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.

• Q1 (first quartile) is the highest ranking;
• Q2 (second quartile) – journals are not as highly ranked as Q1 but are nevertheless recognized as more prestigious than Q2, Q3, and Q4 journals.
• Q3 (third quartile) – these journals are better than Q4 journals.
• Q4 (fourth quartile) – publication in such journals also has a positive effect on the image of the researcher.
