“Cites per paper” is a two-year cited-by rate computed from OpenAlex. It is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric. Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline.

Frequently asked

Is Artificial Life a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Artificial Life. That is not a guarantee of quality — it means the venue is not on Beall's archive (frozen since 2017) and does not match our name-pattern heuristic. It is listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Artificial Life indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, Artificial Life appears in: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is Artificial Life's impact?

Papers in Artificial Life are cited about 1.3 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 90.
