01Impact factor

Impact factor of Hormone Research in Paediatrics (2026)

Impact factor (2-year)3.01calculated by ScholarsColab

Rank in category#13of 204 by citedness

h-index116

Papers published4,629cited 122,520 times

The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Hormone Research in Paediatrics published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, calculated by ScholarsColab. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.

Rank in its subject categories

Pediatricsrank 13 of 204 journals
Endocrinology & Metabolismrank 90 of 203 journals

Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.

Quartile of Hormone Research in Paediatrics

A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Hormone Research in Paediatrics is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

How it works

No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 157,240 real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; the impact factor is calculated by ScholarsColab, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time is the median days from submission to acceptance (not every publisher publishes these dates). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
