Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering is Q1 in Geology (rank 57 of 333), Q2 in Civil and Structural Engineering (rank 118 of 434) and Q2 in Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology (rank 68 of 244), by CiteScore 2025.
Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering 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 5.4, quartile Q1, 83rd percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.802, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 115.
Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering is published by Science Press. Its ISSN is 1000-6915.
No — it is not currently in the Web of Science core collections (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI).
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.

Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering published 235 papers in 2025. 2026* is the year so far.
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 39 research articles (2026), authors are most often from China (96.2%), Japan (1.3%) and United States (1.3%). More than half of recent authorship comes from one country.
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. No retracted papers are recorded. 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.
