Folia Amazónica is a specialized open access scientific journal published by the Research Institute of the Peruvian Amazon (IIAP) that began 1988. Its objective is to disseminate articles and scientific notes resulting from original research on the knowledge, conservation and sustainable use of Amazonian forests to a target audience of professionals, academics and students. The journal covers a wide breadth of the biological sciences such as botany, ecology, biochemistry, zoology, forestry, aquaculture, and agronomy, with a distinctly Amazonian focus.
It is a peer reviewed journal that publishes scientific articles in Spanish, Portuguese and English biannually (June and December) and have a policy of forthcoming articles. It has a chief editor and a scientific editorial board made up of renowned Peruvian and foreign researchers and academics. It is indexed in the academic databases: Scopus ; Latindex (Regional Online Information System for Scientific Journals from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal); BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine), CrossRef (DOI International Registration Agency); Zoological Record (The world's oldest continuing database of animal biology) and Qualis (Brazilian System for the Evaluation of Scientific Journals).
Articles and scientific notes must contain original information that has not been presented in other publications or at the time of their presentation or be under evaluation by other journals. Join the conversation about this journal
Quartiles
The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from
It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document
This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Estimated APC
It estimates the article processing charges (APCs) a journal might charge, based on its visibility, prestige, and impact as measured by the SJR. It does not reflect the actual APC, but rather a calculated approximation based on journal quality.

Estimated financial value
It represents the potential financial worth of a journal. It is obtained by multiplying the journal's Estimated APC by the total number of citable documents published over the past five years. This value reflects the hypothetical revenue a journal could generate based on its estimated publication costs and scholarly output.
