Is Biotribology indexed in Scopus?
No — it was previously covered by Scopus but its coverage is now inactive/discontinued (2015–2023).
What is the impact factor of Biotribology?
Biotribology 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.

How much does it cost to publish in Biotribology?
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,980 for open access (source: OpenAlex). Many journals also publish by the subscription route at no cost to the author, so confirm on the journal's own website.

Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed Biotribology for 9 years, between 2015 and 2023. Coverage ended in 2023, 3 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 281 works and 3,916 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2025, 2 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2023.
