Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.139, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 25.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,990 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.
