Updated August 2026 · 2-year citation average from OpenAlex data
The Journal Metrics Score is the two-year mean citedness of a journal, computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works. Quartiles rank journals within each OpenAlex subfield by score. Data source: OpenAlex (CC0).

A lower-cited Q4 journal by citation data
By citation data, Nautilus is in the lowest quartile in Oceanography and 3 other subfields and ranks #2,692 of 2,727 Environmental Science journals by Journal Metrics Score (top 99%). A Q4 placement means its papers are cited less than most in the subfield; on its own it does not mean the journal is predatory or that its peer review is weak. Nautilus' 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.0. OpenAlex classifies its papers in subfields including Oceanography, Insect Science, and Ecology, so check that your topic fits its scope.
