Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2015–present (also 2012), best quartile Q3, CiteScore 1.2.
International Journal of Automotive Engineering is Q3 in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality (rank 175 of 282), Q3 in Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes (rank 72 of 99) and Q3 in Automotive Engineering (rank 104 of 143), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 4 subject areas in all.
International Journal of Automotive Engineering 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 1.2, quartile Q3, 38th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.219, quartile Q3, with an H-index of 14.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$207 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 90 research articles (2021–2026), authors are most often from Japan (83.3%), United States (4.4%) and Germany (3.9%). 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. 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.
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.
