01Impact factor
Impact factor of Identities (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Identities 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 not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate; the value above is how often its recent papers are cited.
Rank in its subject categories
- Cultural Studiesrank 17 of 68 journals
- Ethnic Studiesrank 15 of 43 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 Identities
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). Identities is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. 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.

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.
10Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long is the review time of Identities?
Based on 107 research articles Identities published from Nov 2024 to Oct 2026, the median time from submission to acceptance was 389 days, and half of them were accepted between 242 and 546 days. After acceptance, papers appeared online after a median of 9 days. Source: received and accepted dates deposited by the publisher in Crossref, retrieved October 2026. Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of Identities?
Based on OpenAlex citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of Identities is 1.21: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 1.21 times on average in a year. The journal is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
What is the h-index of Identities?
The h-index of Identities is 70 (OpenAlex, October 2026): 70 of its papers have each been cited at least 70 times. Its i10-index is 594.
What is the quartile of Identities?
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). Identities is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. 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.
