Physical Chemistry Research is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, so it may have a Journal Impact Factor in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports. JCR is paid, so check it for the current value. The closest free measure is its Scopus CiteScore 4.1, which places it in quartile Q2 at the 67th percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.310, quartile Q3, with an H-index of 24.
Physical Chemistry Research is published by Iranian Chemical Society. Its print ISSN is 2322-5521 and its online ISSN is 2345-2625.
Yes — indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index.
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Physical Chemistry Research has an h-index of 18 and a 2-year mean of 0 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 4.1, quartile Q2. On 2-year citations it ranks #59 of 60 Scopus journals in Statistical and Nonlinear Physics.
Physical Chemistry Research published 14 papers in 2022; its busiest recent year was 2017 with 55. 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 53 research articles (2021–2022), authors are most often from Iran (56.6%), India (7.5%) and Nigeria (6.6%). 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.
