What are the Quartile Slices?

The Q value of an academic journal represents the 25 quantile obtained by dividing into quarters the number of journals in the field in which the journal is published. The first quartile has the top 25% of the journals and gets the Q1 score and the last quartile gets Q4 score. And so, the second 25% slice takes Q2 score and the third 25% slice takes Q3 score.

The SOBIAD Quartiles are determined according to the Inter-University Board (ÜAK) as Education Sciences, Science and Mathematics, Philology, Fine Arts, Law, Theology, Architecture, Planning and Design, Engineering, Health Sciences, Social Humanities and Administrative Sciences, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Sports Sciences, which are the Basic Fields.
