JCR is paid, so check it for the current value. The closest free measure is its Scopus CiteScore 3.4, which places it in quartile Q2 at the 65th percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.646, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 108.
Journal of Computational Biology is published by SAGE Publications Ltd. Its print ISSN is 1066-5277 and its online ISSN is 1557-8666.
Yes — indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Journal of Computational Biology has an h-index of 130 and a 2-year mean of 1.55 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 3.4, quartile Q2. On 2-year citations it ranks #78 of 193 Scopus journals in Computational Mathematics.
Journal of Computational Biology published 76 papers in 2025; its busiest recent year was 2019 with 183. 2026* is the year so far.
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 (31.2%), China (27.1%) and Canada (5.3%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 6 retracted papers are recorded (2.2 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.
