Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 1983–present, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 10.3.
Journal of Molecular Liquids is Q1 in Condensed Matter Physics (rank 39 of 446), Q1 in Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics (rank 26 of 243) and Q1 in Spectroscopy (rank 10 of 81), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 6 subject areas in all.
Journal of Molecular Liquids 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 10.3, quartile Q1, 91st percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.876, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 202.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$3,480 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.
Journal of Molecular Liquids is published by Elsevier B.V. Its print ISSN is 0167-7322 and its online ISSN is 1873-3166.

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.
Journal of Molecular Liquids has an h-index of 216 and a 2-year mean of 6.7 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 10.3, quartile Q1. On 2-year citations it ranks #36 of 425 Scopus journals in Condensed Matter Physics.
Journal of Molecular Liquids published 2,182 papers in 2025; its busiest recent year was 2021 with 2,960. 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 87 research articles (2026), authors are most often from India (17.4%), Iran (14.2%) and China (9.6%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 128 retracted papers are recorded (4.4 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags 13 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.
