Journal ranking systems use a quadrant to rank journals based on impact factors or other metrics. The quadrants are divided as follows:
Q1 (Top 25%): Journals with the highest impact factors or metrics.
Q2 (Top 50%): Journals in the middle tier.
Q3 (Top 75%): Journals in the lower-middle tier.
Q4 (Bottom 25%): Journals with the lowest impact factors or metrics.
