Brieflands is pleased to announce that three journals in its publishing portfolio have advanced from Q4 in 2024 to Q3 in the 2025 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) rankings. This important achievement reflects the journals’ continued scientific development, growing research impact, and strengthened international visibility.
The journals that achieved this advancement are:
- Asian Journal of Sports Medicine : Q4 → Q3
- Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics : Q4 → Q3
- Archives of Clinical Infectious Diseases : Q4 → Q3
Moving from Q4 to Q3 represents an important step forward in the international standing of these journals. It indicates improved scientific performance, greater visibility of published research, and stronger positioning among journals within their respective subject categories.
This achievement is the result of the sustained efforts of the journals’ editors-in-chief, editorial board members, reviewers, authors, executive teams, and publishing staff. Their commitment to rigorous peer review, high-quality research, ethical publishing practices, and international publishing standards has played a central role in this progress.
The advancement is expected to further strengthen the journals’ credibility within the research community, support the submission of higher-quality manuscripts, encourage wider international collaboration, and increase the visibility and impact of their published articles.
About the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)
The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a widely recognized international indicator used to assess the scientific influence and standing of academic journals based on data from Scopus . In addition to the number of citations received, SJR considers the scientific prestige and influence of the journals from which those citations originate. Journals are classified into four quartiles— Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4—with Q1 representing the highest-ranked group. Advancement from Q4 to Q3 therefore demonstrates measurable progress in a journal’s scientific impact, visibility, and position within its field.
Brieflands warmly congratulates the scientific communities of the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine , Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics , and Archives of Clinical Infectious Diseases on this significant achievement. We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to this success and look forward to continued growth, greater international impact, and further advancements in the years ahead.
