Water-Energy Nexus 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 1.677, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 27.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$900 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 95 research articles (2021–2026), authors are most often from China (38.5%), India (14.7%) and United States (4.9%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
