Yes — indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Molecular Physics has an h-index of 236 and a 2-year mean of 2.01 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 3.5, quartile Q3. On 2-year citations it ranks #227 of 425 Scopus journals in Condensed Matter Physics.
Molecular Physics published 235 papers in 2025; its busiest recent year was 2018 with 452. 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 97 research articles (2026), authors are most often from China (18.2%), India (8.1%) and Japan (6.5%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 5 retracted papers are recorded (0.2 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.
