Hello everyone,
I am looking for recommendations for a Scopus-indexed journal in the field of antennas. My primary considerations are:
- Impact Factor (IF)
- Review Time
- Article Processing Charges (APC)
If you have experience with journals that balance these factors well, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Additionally, if there are any journals with a similar scope that you would recommend, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your time and input!
Generally, most of the journals use these two figures (A) and (B) to calculate the Impact Factor. Let us calculate the Impact Factor for a particular journal for the year 2023.
Impact Factor(IF-2023) = A/B
A -> The number of times that all items published in that journal in 2021 and 2022 were cited by indexed publications during 2023.
B -> The total number of “citable items” published by that journal in 2021 and 2022.
For Example,
A = 1298 (Number of times that all items published in that journal in 2021 and 2022)
B = 541 (The total number of “citable items” published by that journal in 2021 and 2022)
Then the Impact factor of the Journal should be (1298/541)= 2.40 IF.

Many thanks,
Now, Taiz University attempts to formulate new rules regulating the academic promotions for faculty members. That is challenging and courageous effort made by the academic council to raise our university ranking. However, there are still fluctuations and misunderstanding of some of these rules, e.g., misestimating the effort devoted by a researcher who write and publish a review/mini-review paper. While simple practical articles published in local universities’ journals (all without any impact factors and some with no ISSN yet) are strongly accepted for the academic promotions, the review/mini-review articles are not even if published in ISI journals of good impact factor and mention. So, answering the aforementioned question may assist the academic council to make a proper decision for sake of enhancing the international ranking of our university.
We are editing a special issue on polymer technologies spanning oil and gas pipelines and membrane-based separations to conductive polymers for organic solar cells, and reinforced composites in wind energy systems for the journal Polymers (impact factor: 4.7).

Please let me know if you would like to submit a research or review article to our special issue.

The question, "How can the impact of an article be accurately assessed beyond citation counts or journal impact factors?", challenges the reliance on traditional metrics, like citation counts or journal impact factors (JIF), as the primary indicators of an article's value or influence. It invites a discussion on alternative ways to evaluate an article's true impact in a broader and more meaningful context.
i need an analysis of my articles to know the ones published in peer reviewed journals that do not have impact factor
Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to get my review article published for over a year now, but I keep running into roadblocks. I don’t have support for open-access fees, and I’ve submitted it to more than 10 subscription-based journals, but they’ve all rejected it, saying it’s not suitable for publication.
I’m looking for someone who could help me get this article published. I’m not concerned with the impact factor, and I’m fine with any authorship arrangement—you can be the corresponding author or co-author if you want. I just really need help to get it out there.
If anyone can offer advice or help, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks a lot

Dear all,
Clarivate recently published the first impact factor of Frontiers in Remote Sensing (IF = 3.4), which is very promising for a first value.
The journal targets both technical aspects (instrumentation, new retrieval techniques in the whole frequency domain, experiments, etc.) and applications over land surfaces (water and carbon cycle, LUCC, etc.), atmosphere, ocean, urban and ice-covered areas, with specific sections each supervised by an Editor-in-Chief and an associated board.
etc.
Do not hesitate to visit the website to join us as a reviewer or associate editor, and to submit manuscripts (research papers and reviews).
We may have a 50% discount waiver for reviewers and editors this year.
Contact me for any specific question, thank you!

Hello everyone, where can I publish my research in Ecology for free? My current research for publication is on phylogenetic analysis and niche differentiation of freshwater crabs.
I am also considering the impact factor of journals. Unfortunately, publishing open-access journals would cost 1000 USD minimum and I do not have funds for it. I prefer to publish my work as open-access to widen the readers.
Thanks so much!
I would like to have an excel of the 2023 ISI Impact Factors. If it includes the most recent 5 years (2019-2023), I would appreicate very much.
There are two scenarios:
The Impact Factor at the time an article is published.
The Impact Factor after the journal updates its metrics annually based on performance.
While being interviewed or during presentations, which scenario should we consider?
For example, in my case, the Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing had an Impact Factor of 8.3 when my article was published. After the recent metrics update, it is now 5.9.
As the New JCR impact factor is just released. I need a list of journals which are not tracked for impact factor this year or which are delisted by JCR. Thanks!
Dear colleagues,
Is it possible to send me the list of journals impact factor for the year 2024 (classification is for the year 2023)? excel format if it is possible.
Thank you in advance.

Guys here is partial list of JCR (Web of Science) Impact Factor.
Title: Factors Contributing to the Decline of Journal Impact Factors
Abstract:
The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Impact Factor is a widely recognized metric used to evaluate the influence and prestige of scientific journals. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable decline in the impact factors of many journals indexed in the Web of Science’s JCR database. Causes can be
- Evolving Publication Landscape: The scientific publishing landscape has undergone significant transformations in recent years. The rise of open access publishing, preprint servers, and alternative metrics has led to a diversification of research dissemination channels. As a result, traditional subscription-based journals may face increased competition, leading to a redistribution of citations across different platforms.
- Field-Specific Trends: Impact factors can vary significantly across different scientific disciplines due to variations in publication practices, citation patterns, and research culture. Changes in funding priorities or emerging research areas may result in shifts in citation patterns, impacting the impact factors of certain journals.
- Quality vs. Quantity: The pressure to publish more articles within shorter timeframes can lead to an increase in the overall number of publications. While this can enhance scientific output, it may also dilute the impact factors of individual journals if the focus shifts from quality to quantity.
- Citational Behavior: Changes in the way researchers cite literature can affect impact factors. The increasing use of self-citations and the concentration of citations towards a limited number of highly influential papers can impact the overall citation metrics of journals.
- Editorial Practices and Policies: The editorial policies and practices of journals can influence their impact factors. Factors such as rigorous peer review, editorial selectivity, and adherence to ethical publishing standards can attract high-quality submissions and subsequently increase impact factors.
Conclusion:
The decline in the impact factors of journals listed in the JCR database can be attributed to a combination of factors related to evolving publication practices, field-specific trends, citational behavior, and editorial practices. Understanding these factors is crucial for researchers, publishers, and other stakeholders to interpret impact factors accurately and make informed decisions regarding journal selection and evaluation.
Further research and analysis are needed to delve deeper into the dynamics of impact factors and explore potential strategies for maintaining the quality and relevance of journals in an evolving scholarly publishing landscape.

Q1. Clarivate releases JCR Master Journal List Every year in June. Does this mean that the Impact factor issued to journals are valid from 1 July (last year) to 30 June (this Year)? Any documentary support to this or webpage where it is mentioned.?
Q2. Is there any list (Document) of journals indexed in SCI/SCIE in 2024
In the recently published JCR, the journal Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering does not appear. I have searched everywhere and have found nothing, it does not appear in the list of excluded journals. The journal had an impact factor of 2.6 in the previous JCR (Mathematics and Computational Biology). I have contacted the journal, but they have not responded.
Does anyone know anything or can advise where to look?
Regards

Fermat and his genius !!!
Below it is rework of the chapter “The Prize” from Simon Singh's book “ Fermat’s Last Theorem: The story of a riddle that confounded the world's greatest minds for 358 years” :
<<Fermat wrote that his proof would not fit into the margin of his copy of Arithmetica, and Wiles’s 100 pages of dense mathematics certainly fulfils this criterion, but surely the Frenchman did not invent modular forms, the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, Galois Groups and the Kolyvagin-Flach method centuries before anyone else.
If Fermat did not have Wiles’s proof then what did he have?
Mathematicians are divided into two camps:
The sceptics believe that Fermat’s Last Theorem was the result of a rare moment of weakness by the 17th-century genius.
They claim that although Fermat wrote, ”I have discovered a truly marvellous proof”, he had in fact found only a flawed proof.
Other mathematicians, the romantic optimists, believe that Fermat may have had a genuine proof.
Whatever this proof might have been, it would have been based on 17th-century techniques, and would have involved an argument so cunning that it has eluded everybody.
Indeed, there are plenty of mathematicians who believe that they can still achieve fame and glory by discovering Fermat’s original proof.
In my case it is pure passion for the Mathematics and the desire to do justice to Fermat and his genius !!! >>
For this reason I recommend carefully reading the following document entitled "Fundamental elements of a proof” relating to the recently elementary proof of Fermat Last Theorem has been given by Andrea Ossicini.
This articles, entitled "On the Nature of Some Euler's Double Equations Equivalent to Fermat's Last Theorem" effectively provide a reformulation of Fermat's Last Theorem and has been published in 2022 in the journal "Mathematics" by publisher MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute).
The Journal "Mathematics" is indexed in SCOPUS. Impact factor 2.4. It is quoted with a journal rank: JCR - Q1 (Mathematics) / CiteScore 3.5 - Q1 (General Mathematics).
Ossicini's article is indicated by Mathematics as "Feature Paper".
This label is used to represent the most advanced investigations which can have a significant impact in the field.
A Feature Paper should be an original contribution that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewer.

Hi,
Can some scholar explain Impact factor RJIF?
How this is different from Scopus rating?
A journal claims Impact Factor (RJIF): 8.4.
How to interpret this number?
Please advise.
Science Citation Index (SCI) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) are both considered gold standards for scientific research. SCI journals are generally considered more prestigious and have higher impact factors than SCIE journals, but SCIE journals are more comprehensive.
Dear all,
I would like to share with you publishing opportunities in our journal, Ecosystem Services, a Q1 journal, with an impact factor 2023 of 7.6, according to the 2023 Journal Citations Report and 12.5 CitiScore (SCOPUS). We have currently 3 Special Issues (SI) open for submissions:
Payments for Ecosystem Services and Motivations: exploring the driving conditions for success or failure.

Good Day researchers.
I am currently looking for some journals that have high acceptance rate(AR) and average impact factor(IF). My work is on battery materials.
I am currently looking at "The Chemical Record" and "Scientific Report". Both have an impact factor of around 5 and an acceptance rate >50%.
However I feel those should be my safe bet, and I should aim for something with higher impact factor (around 10) and with >36% acceptance rate.
Do you have any Journal suggestions? Is there a centralized place I can see what are my options? I feel a place we can see most journals' IFs and ARs can help researchers greatly in selecting where to publish.
Thank you in advance!
I did not find IF in the website BioxBio for this journals but in their website they have claimed to have an IF of 5.8. Also did not find IF in the 2022 SCIE list (PDF) released by Web of Science.
Have found in both SCIMAGO and MJL of Clarivate.
Please help to clarify.
Thank you very much.

A New Frontiers Journal is to be launched soon: Frontiers in Earth Observation and Land Monitoring (Cf attached Author Guide)
Frontiers in Earth Observation and Land Monitoring is a multidisciplinary open-access journal that presents major advances in the monitoring and understanding of key land surface processes and in the optimal use of different observation systems dedicated to land monitoring.
We are working towards launching new journals with a foundation of quality content to generate as much interest as possible from the community. To do this, we appoint only the best researchers in their areas of expertise and commission at least 10 articles before launch, which we'll make available through an early-access page on our website.
We do not want our fees to be a barrier to publishing quality research, therefore we have several author support services available. To find out more, contact us at earthobservationandlandmonitoring@frontiersin.org
I have encountered significant obstacles in funding publication fees for my well-executed research, resulting in prolonged delays and discouraging responses from journals. Despite diligently submitting to fee-waived journals and ensuring that my research aligns with their scope, I consistently receive standardized rejections citing reasons such as 'out of scope,' which does not accurately reflect the nature of my work.
As a researcher striving to disseminate valuable findings, I am seeking guidance on how to navigate this challenging scenario effectively. How can I secure funding or explore alternative avenues to cover publication fees? Additionally, how can I address the issue of misaligned responses from journals and ensure that my research receives fair consideration within the academic community?
I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations from fellow researchers who may have encountered similar challenges in the publication process. Your expertise and advice would be invaluable in helping me overcome these hurdles.
I'm encountering challenges in funding publication fees and facing discouraging responses from journals despite my research aligning with their scope. How can I navigate this situation effectively?

I am looking for an updated comprehensive list of open access scientific journals with high impact factors and without Article Processing Charges (APCs) in 2024.
Which is preferable:
publishing an article in a close-access journal like Elsevier (or Springer), or publishing in an open-access journal with a low impact factor?
I need to understand what is the difference between Impact Score and Impact Factor of a Journal?
It becomes interesting to me to realise that a journal with high IF 9 has an acceptance rate of 82%, while another journal with IF of 2.6 recorded an acceptance rate of 38%. Does lower acceptance rate implies stricter measures and hence high quality? I would appreciate diverse views on this topic.
There are few journals such as diseases, scientia pharmaceutica by MDPI which mention impact factor on their journal page. But a perusal of JCR list does not mention these journals. Concerned editors suggested to refer to the Clarivate analytics page to confirm the IF. I do not have access to it. Request fellow colleagues who have access to the Clarivate analytics journal search database to confirm IF of these journals and share the screenshots if possible. Thanks.
Please, how is the impact factor of european chemical bulletin?

Greetings all,
I'd like to ask if 'Oral Oncology Reports' as a companion journal to the well-known 'Oral Oncology' journal would be a good choice to publish?
The journal is a very recent one .. May be only launched in 2022. It was the Editor-in-chief of the 'oral oncology' journal who recommended transferring the manuscript to such new journal. By the way, he is the same Editor-In-Chief!
The journal is indexed in Scopus as written on its website (despite I searched for its name in Scopus & didn't find it!). Of course, no impact factor is present & not listed yet in WOS database.
My question is: Is it wise to publish in such newly borne journal gaining the merit of currently free open access publication offer?
If the manuscript was accepted & published, will it have sufficient credibility later when the journal get known & listed in different reputable databases?
Thanks in advance
Google Scholar ranks journals according to h-index while impact factor is well known as a ranking system. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Let's discuss.
After acceptance from Benchmarking: an International Journal, I checked for the impact factor on which I can fully trust. But I could not find either impact factor or JCR for 2022 or before. Can anyone help me out with this?
Can we consider international Society for Research Activity (ISRA), while calculating impact factor or only clarivate is the trusted source for insights and analytics.
I am looking for a free Journal (good impact factor) to publish a systematic literature review protocol. I have checked a few but they are charging a lot. Any recommendation will be appreciated. In addition, suggestions for free Journals to publish a systematic literature review will be valued.
Thanks in advance.
Which journals with high impact factors can research on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy be submitted to?
Some journals on Education such as Springer's Discover Education and MDPI's Education Sciences are rather new journals that have yet to attain an impact factor. The question is, would you submit a manuscript to any of these journals or opt to well-established venues such as the IEEE Transactions on Education?
I am raising this question to initiate a discussion. Kindly provide the pros and cons of choosing to submit a manuscript to any of the aforementioned journals.
If some conference papers are weak, is the journal's impact factor affected?
Journal Impact Factor (JIF) or Impact Factor (IF) of an academic journal is a measure, calculated by the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that particular journal. This article explains how to find the impact factor of a journal in detail.
Impact Factor is the more valuable parameter among the academicians, in order to select the journal for publication. It also helps to identify the trustworthiness of the facts given in that journal.
The h-index can be calculated automatically in Web of Science and Scopus or manually in other databases that provide citation information (e.g. SciFinder, PsychINFO, Google Scholar). In this article, we are going to find out, How the journal impact factor and h-index are calculated ?
I can't see the IF of this journal on its web site. I want to ask the research community to give their input in this regard.
In their website they mentioned it's IF is 5.8. But in the JIF2022 report, I did not find. Is it because of its inclusion in the Emerging Source Citation Index? and because of not included in the "Science Citation Index Expanded" Please help.
From where can I get valid IF. One more thing, this journal is not included in BioxBio, have checked.
