What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health records 66,691 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Who publishes International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health?
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute publishes it. 12 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health open access?
OpenAlex records it as open access, though it is not listed in DOAJ. An open-access article is reachable by any reader, so a reviewer can check the passage you cited without a subscription.
How do I cite an article from International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key wang2020 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 1729, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health?
Its h-index is 321, above 39% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 1,841,764 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 3.54. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 321 and a two-year mean citedness of 3.54 across 66,691 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
