Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2023–present, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 7.7.
npj Spintronics is Q1 in Condensed Matter Physics (rank 72 of 446), Q1 in Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials (rank 66 of 318) and Q2 in Surfaces and Interfaces (rank 17 of 63), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 4 subject areas in all.
npj Spintronics 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 7.7, quartile Q1, 83rd percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 2.780, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 17.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$2,190 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.

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 100 research articles (2024–2026), authors are most often from United States (16%), China (15.4%) and Germany (13.6%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. No retracted papers are recorded. 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.
