Journals listed in Web of Science and JCR receive many submissions and desk reject a large share. A section-by-section audit by a PhD reviewer in your area shows what to fix first.
Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Geotectonics (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Geotectonics published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. 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.

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 Geotectonics
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). Geotectonics 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.

Review time of Geotectonics
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Geotectonics published between Dec 2024 and Aug 2026 were accepted within 187 days of submission, and the middle half took between 114 and 319 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.

No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 156,503 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 from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.

Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of Geotectonics?
Based on OpenAlex citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of Geotectonics is 0.68: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 0.68 times on average in a year. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so Clarivate also publishes an official Journal Impact Factor, which can differ.
What is the h-index of Geotectonics?
The h-index of Geotectonics is 37 (OpenAlex, October 2026): 37 of its papers have each been cited at least 37 times. Its i10-index is 269.
What is the quartile of Geotectonics?
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). Geotectonics 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.
Is Geotectonics indexed in Scopus?
Yes. Geotectonics appears in the Scopus list, according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
