Computational Particle Mechanics is Q1 in Numerical Analysis (rank 20 of 93), Q1 in Computational Mathematics (rank 48 of 212) and Q2 in Modeling and Simulation (rank 101 of 397), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 6 subject areas in all.
Computational Particle Mechanics is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, so it may have a Journal Impact Factor in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports. JCR is paid, so check it for the current value. The closest free measure is its Scopus CiteScore 4.7, which places it in quartile Q1 at the 79th percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.636, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 46.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$3,790 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.
Computational Particle Mechanics is published by Elsevier Ltd. Its print ISSN is 2196-4378 and its online ISSN is 2196-4386.
Yes — indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Computational Particle Mechanics has an h-index of 51 and a 2-year mean of 3.48 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 4.7, quartile Q1. On 2-year citations it ranks #9 of 90 Scopus journals in Numerical Analysis.
Computational Particle Mechanics published 219 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 90 research articles (2025–2026), authors are most often from China (63.9%), Japan (6.1%) and Iran (5.6%). 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. 3 retracted papers are recorded (2.5 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.
