Both Elsevier and Springer are great publishers with many good journals. Frontiers is also becoming a big giant in the field. From my personal experience, articles of the same quality in Elsevier are usually more cited than in Springer, even when they are both open access. Each subject category of journals is divided into four quartiles: Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Q1 contains the top 25% of journals in the list. There are 1,140 Springer journals that fall under the 1st quartile. In this blog post, we are providing the list of Springer Q1 journals. The top 5% of journals have impact factors approximately equal to or greater than 6 (610 journals or 4.9% of the journals tracked by JCR).

What makes Frontiers different from other journals?
Frontiers was founded by scientists and our focus has always been to empower researchers in the publishing process. Our journals are driven and peer-reviewed by active researchers, who are experts in their fields and have been appointed to the editorial boards according to strict selection criteria. Frontiers is launched as a not-for-profit foundation, the relying on philanthropic donations to operate. Principles of peer review Frontiers upholds strict quality standards for manuscripts and the peer review process through clear criteria and dedicated teams. Manuscripts that pass these criteria are accepted, those that do not pass the criteria are rejected. Tier 1: Peer-reviewed academic publications Scholarly articles appear in academic journals, which are published multiple times a year to share the latest research findings with scholars in the field. They’re usually sponsored by an academic society.
What is difference between Scopus and journal?
SCOPUS focuses on independent journals in the research field of Science, Technology, Medicine, and Social Sciences, however, SCIE indexing focuses on technical and scientific publications including natural and social sciences. Elsevier is a publisher, and Scopus is article database provided by Elsevier. Not all journal from Elsevier is indexed in Scopus, and not all articles in Scopus come from Elsevier’s journals. Scopus is more general, could from journal from other publishing companies. The h-index is an index that attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar. In Scopus, the h-index is not a static value; it is calculated live on a set of results each time you look it up. Metrics. Web of Science and Scopus both have “some” proceedings and books but they are mainly covering journal articles. Book coverage – Google Scholar excels at this way more than the others as it covers Google Books content along with other freely-accessible online publications. A quartile in Scopus is a category of scientific journals that shows their credibility. The quartile reflects the demand for the journal by the scientific community. As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of researchers still believe that getting their papers published in Scopus journals is easy and does not require much effort. More often than not, such people learn the hard way (through repeated rejections) that this is not so.
