Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2011–present, best quartile Q4, CiteScore 0.7.
Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research Series A: Physical Sciences is Q4 in Mathematical Physics (rank 77 of 90), Q4 in Physics and Astronomy (all) (rank 221 of 248) and Q4 in Materials Science (all) (rank 431 of 475), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 4 subject areas in all.
Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research Series A: Physical Sciences 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 0.7, quartile Q4, 15th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.122, quartile Q4, with an H-index of 12.
Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research Series A: Physical Sciences is published by PCSIR-Scientific Information Centre. Its print ISSN is 2221-6413 and its online ISSN is 2223-2559.
No — it is not currently in the Web of Science core collections (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI).
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research Series A: Physical Sciences has an h-index of 12 and a 2-year mean of 0.16 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 0.7, quartile Q4. On 2-year citations it ranks #73 of 88 Scopus journals in Mathematical Physics.
Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research Series A: Physical Sciences published 38 papers in 2025. 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 (2023–2026), authors are most often from Pakistan (67%), Iraq (8.2%) and Nigeria (3.6%). 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.
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.
