Scopus-Indexed Q4 Journals
Overview
Scopus, Elsevier’s comprehensive abstract and citation database, was launched in 2004 and currently indexes 36,377 titles from approximately 11,678 publishers worldwide. It is widely recognized as a leading source for high-quality, peer-reviewed research publications across various disciplines.
Journals indexed in Scopus are categorized into four quartiles based on their impact and citation metrics:
- Q1 – Top 25% of journals (highest impact)
- Q2 – Journals ranked between 25% and 50%
- Q3 – Journals ranked between 50% and 75%
- Q4 – Bottom 25% of indexed journals
Q4 journals are considered emerging or niche publications that still meet Scopus’s rigorous indexing criteria but have relatively lower citation scores compared to higher-tier quartiles.
