It shows the rankings of the journal within its own group and it is a useful guide for researchers in the selection of the journal, however it should be used with caution in academic career advancement. Quartile scores may vary according to the scientific categories. The Q scores of a journal briefly show the 25% quantile resulting from quartered the number of journals in the area where the journal is placed.
