Ibrain 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 4, quartile Q2, 56th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.716, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 13.
No article processing charge is recorded for it (source: OpenAlex). Confirm on the journal's own website, since some journals charge for extras such as colour figures.

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 (2023–2026), authors are most often from China (51.2%), Italy (10.7%) and India (8.2%). 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. 2 retracted papers are recorded (5.7 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.
