Many researchers are convinced that publishing in Q1-Q2 journals is essential for defending a thesis, securing a grant or preparing reports. But is this really the case? In practice, requirements regarding quartiles can vary significantly depending on regulatory documents, programmes or competitions. So when is a journal’s quartile truly mandatory, and when is it merely an additional advantage?
A new video has been released on our channel, in which Anastasiia Zuieva and Ivan Pyvovar, experts from the Scientific Publications scientific and educational centre, explain in detail:
- What is a journal’s quartile, and on what principle is the division into Q1-Q4 based?
- How are quartiles calculated in the Scopus and Web of Science databases?
- In which cases does a quartile become a mandatory requirement?
- When is a high quartile not mandatory, but significantly strengthens a researcher’s position?
- What mistakes do researchers most often make when checking publication requirements?
