Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 1993–present, best quartile Q4, CiteScore 2.2.
Methods in Molecular Biology is Q4 in Genetics (rank 287 of 357) and Q4 in Molecular Biology (rank 342 of 414), by CiteScore 2025.
Methods in Molecular Biology 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 2.2, quartile Q4, 19th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.423, quartile Q4, with an H-index of 229.

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 12 research articles (2021–2025), authors are most often from United Kingdom (22.5%), Canada (21.1%) and Germany (10%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 8 retracted papers are recorded (0.1 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags 1 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.
