Скачать или смотреть Q1 vs Q2 vs Q3 vs Q4 Journals | What Quartiles Really Mean

Understanding journal quartiles can help you target the right journals and improve your publication success. This video breaks down Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 in a clear and practical way researchers can use immediately.

This video explains the differences between Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 journal categories and how quartiles are used to evaluate research quality across disciplines. Journals are ranked based on citation performance, impact metrics, and subject-area comparisons.

You will learn:
• What “quartile” actually means in journal ranking systems
• How Q1 journals differ from Q2, Q3, and Q4
• Why some journals are Q1 in one subject area but Q2 in another
• How impact factor and citation data influence quartile placement
• Why universities, supervisors, and employers prefer Q1 and Q2 publications
• How quartiles help researchers choose the right journal for manuscript submission

Q1 journals represent the top 25% in a subject category, while Q4 represents the lowest 75–100%. Different fields (materials science, chemistry, AI, medicine, business, social sciences, etc.) rank journals separately, so the same journal can appear in different quartiles depending on subject classification.

This guide is helpful for anyone preparing a research paper, review article, thesis publication plan, or academic CV.
