Communications in Optimization Theory is Q3 in Control and Optimization (rank 141 of 198), Q4 in Modeling and Simulation (rank 349 of 397) and Q4 in Numerical Analysis (rank 89 of 93), by CiteScore 2025.
Communications in Optimization Theory 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 0.5, quartile Q3, 29th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.202, quartile Q3, with an H-index of 4.
Communications in Optimization Theory is published by Mathematical Research Press. Its ISSN is 2051-2953.
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.

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.
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.
