Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed Insect Biochemistry for 21 years, between 1971 and 1991. Coverage ended in 1991, 35 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 1,992 works and 50,980 citations for the title. OpenAlex attributes papers to this title as late as 2002, 11 years after Scopus coverage ended in 1991. That may reflect a changed ISSN or merged records rather than continued publishing, so confirm the journal's current status directly before submitting.
