Oriental Studies is not in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI), so Clarivate publishes no Journal Impact Factor for it.

Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.376, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 9.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$266 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 81 research articles (2025–2026), authors are most often from Russia (68.5%), Kazakhstan (16%) and Armenia (8%). More than half of recent authorship comes from one country.
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
