Its open counterpart is the 2-year mean citedness OpenAlex holds for The Journal of Organic Chemistry: 3.81, the mean number of citations received by the journal's papers of the last two years. That ranks The Journal of Organic Chemistry #2,850 of 18,122 journals, in the top 16%. The two figures follow the same idea on different records, so they are not equal.

What is the h-index of The Journal of Organic Chemistry?

How these figures are made

Every figure is from OpenAlex's record of this journal, snapshot of 2026-10-14. The 2-year mean citedness is not Clarivate's impact factor: it counts the citations OpenAlex has recorded, so it differs from the licensed figure. Ranks are among the 18,122 journals with at least 1,000 works in OpenAlex and a record in 2025 or later that pass checks for record errors. Method and limits.
