Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2019–2025, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 8.5.
Chaos, Solitons and Fractals: X is Q1 in Mathematical Physics (rank 3 of 90), Q1 in Applied Mathematics (rank 33 of 680) and Q1 in Statistical and Nonlinear Physics (rank 7 of 63), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 4 subject areas in all.
Chaos, Solitons and Fractals: X is not in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI), so Clarivate publishes no Journal Impact Factor for it. Its Scopus CiteScore is 8.5, quartile Q1, 97th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.680, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 17.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,120 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.

h-index, i10-index and 2-year mean citedness are open, licence-clear metrics from OpenAlex — not a proprietary impact factor. The subject rank counts only journals that OpenAlex has a figure for; it is not a Scopus or Clarivate ranking. Updated 2026-10-14.
In its latest 53 research articles (2021–2025), authors are most often from China (17.9%), United States (11.3%) and Saudi Arabia (6%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 8 retracted papers are recorded (75.5 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags none of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
Retractions from OpenAlex; flags from the Problematic Paper Screener (Cabanac, Labbé & Magazinov, CC BY), 2026-09-21 export. A flag marks a paper for a closer look; it is not a finding against the journal.
Index data is curated from public sources (Scopus, Web of Science, ABDC, FT50, UT Dallas, DOAJ). CiteScore and quartiles reflect the latest available Scopus release. Always verify a journal's current status on its official source before submitting.
