Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine 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.

Quartile of Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine
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). Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports.
