What is the impact factor of Russian Literature?
Russian Literature has no Journal Impact Factor — JIF is published only for journals in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI and ESCI) — and Scopus has not published a current CiteScore for it either. Treat any "impact factor" quoted for this journal elsewhere as unofficial.
How much does it cost to publish in Russian Literature?

Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 2,597 works and 2,406 citations for the title. Its most recent paper is from 2023, in line with the end of Scopus coverage in 2023, which suggests the journal stopped publishing around then.
