Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.491, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 7.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$1,800 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 (2025–2026), authors are most often from United States (28.1%), United Kingdom (10.4%) and Japan (9.6%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
