Quick answers
Is Arthritis Research indexed in Scopus?
No — it was previously covered by Scopus but its coverage is now inactive/discontinued (2006 (also 1999–2002)).
What is the impact factor of Arthritis Research?
Arthritis Research has no Journal Impact Factor — JIF is published only for journals in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI and ESCI) — and Scopus has not published a current CiteScore for it either. Treat any "impact factor" quoted for this journal elsewhere as unofficial.
Who publishes Arthritis Research and what is its ISSN?
Arthritis Research is published by BioMed Central Ltd. Its ISSN is 1465-9905.
Is Arthritis Research in Web of Science?
No — it is not currently in the Web of Science core collections (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI).

Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed Arthritis Research for 5 years, between 1999 and 2006, with 3 years in that span missing. Coverage ended in 2006, 20 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 1,224 works and 27,447 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2009, 3 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2006. That pattern fits a journal Scopus stopped indexing while it kept publishing, but it can also come from a changed ISSN or merged records. Confirm the journal's current status before submitting.
