Quick answers
Is BMC Chemical Biology indexed in Scopus?
No — it was previously covered by Scopus but its coverage is now inactive/discontinued (2001–2012).
What is the impact factor of BMC Chemical Biology?
BMC Chemical Biology 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 BMC Chemical Biology and what is its ISSN?
BMC Chemical Biology is published by BioMed Central Ltd. Its ISSN is 1472-6769.
Is BMC Chemical Biology in Web of Science?
No — it is not currently in the Web of Science core collections (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI).
Is BMC Chemical Biology open access?
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed BMC Chemical Biology for 12 years, between 2001 and 2012. Coverage ended in 2012, 14 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 40 works and 1,367 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2016, 4 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2012. 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.
