Impact factor of Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 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.

Quartile of Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia
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). Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 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.

03How to submit
How to submit to Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia accepts. You find it on the journal's website at Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, usually under "For authors".
- Format to the journal's style. Check whether it wants a Word file, a LaTeX file or a PDF for the first submission, and follow its reference style; many journals accept any clear format at first and ask for their style only after acceptance.
