Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2019–present, best quartile Q4, CiteScore 1.2.
Research in Plant Disease is Q4 in Agronomy and Crop Science (rank 320 of 422), Q4 in Plant Science (rank 420 of 541) and Q4 in Biotechnology (rank 263 of 325), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 5 subject areas in all.
Research in Plant Disease 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 1.2, quartile Q4, 24th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.204, quartile Q4, with an H-index of 9.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$700 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 78 research articles (2024–2026), authors are most often from South Korea (91.7%), Tanzania (2.6%) and Indonesia (2.6%). 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.
