Global Epidemiology 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 3.5, quartile Q2, 59th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.691, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 18.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,670 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 98 research articles (2024–2026), authors are most often from United States (19.7%), Ethiopia (11.9%) and Ghana (6.5%).
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.
