Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2008–present, best quartile Q4, CiteScore 0.7.
Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry is Q4 in Bioengineering (rank 158 of 168) and Q4 in Organic Chemistry (rank 203 of 215), by CiteScore 2025.
Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry 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 0.7, quartile Q4, 6th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.156, quartile Q4, with an H-index of 27.
Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry is published by Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry. Its print ISSN is 1976-0442 and its online ISSN is 2234-7941.
No — it is not currently in the Web of Science core collections (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI).
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.

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 97 research articles (2024–2026), authors are most often from South Korea (85.1%), Iraq (9.6%) and Vietnam (2.6%). 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 (1.4 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.
