Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2016–present, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 7.1.
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology is Q1 in Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics (rank 63 of 736), Q2 in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (rank 42 of 134) and Q2 in Biotechnology (rank 102 of 325), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 5 subject areas in all.
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology 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 7.1, quartile Q1, 91st percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.799, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 33.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,590 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 99 research articles (2021–2026), authors are most often from Germany (30.5%), United States (11.8%) and Austria (8.6%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 2 retracted papers are recorded (8.8 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.
