Frequently asked questions

Is PLOS a Q1 or Q2 journal?

PLOS is an academic publisher, not a single journal, so it does not have one quartile. Its journals are ranked individually in Journal Citation Reports and Scopus and span Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 — the Journals Published list on this page shows the quartile badge for each title.

What is the PLOS impact factor?

There is no single PLOS impact factor: every journal has its own Journal Impact Factor. Across the 1 journals on this page with a current value, impact factors range from 2.8 to 2.8. See the Journals Published list above for each journal's own figure.
