Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2015–present (also 2007–2013, 2000–2005), best quartile Q4, CiteScore 0.2.
Japanese Magazine of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences is Q4 in Economic Geology (rank 52 of 52) and Q4 in Geochemistry and Petrology (rank 163 of 164), by CiteScore 2025.
Japanese Magazine of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences 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 0.2, quartile Q4, 0th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.117, quartile Q4, with an H-index of 11.

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 65 research articles (2021–2026), authors are most often from Japan (93.1%), Germany (4.6%) and Taiwan (1.5%). 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.
