“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 (how the two differ). Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline. What the other figures mean: journal quartile, SJR, h-index and article processing charge.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Biological Cybernetics is Q2 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. Its best category quartile is Q2.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science (miscellaneous) | Q2 | #144 of 365 |
| Biotechnology | Q3 | #184 of 320 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)

The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” means we hold no rank consistent with that quartile. The document count is what Scopus indexed that year, which can be lower than a journal's full output. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).
Biological Cybernetics is Q2 in 1 of its 2 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Computer Science (miscellaneous): Q2, #144 of 365), with SJR 0.462 (Scimago) and an h-index of 201 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.

Frequently asked
Is Biological Cybernetics a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Biological Cybernetics. 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 Biological Cybernetics indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Biological Cybernetics 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 the impact factor of Biological Cybernetics?
Papers in Biological Cybernetics are cited about 2.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 201. Those are the open equivalents: the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor is a proprietary metric we neither compute nor license, so we show the two-year citation rate and Scimago quartile instead — they answer the same question of how heavily the journal is cited. A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
What Scimago quartile is Biological Cybernetics (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Biological Cybernetics is Q2 in 1 of its 2 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Computer Science (miscellaneous): Q2, #144 of 365; Biotechnology: Q3, #184 of 320. Its best category quartile is Q2. Quartiles split the journals in a subject category into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Biological Cybernetics is cited about 2.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 201.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Biological Cybernetics?
The Web of Science quartile comes from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a proprietary product we neither license nor compute — so we cannot state a JCR quartile for Biological Cybernetics. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Computer Science (miscellaneous), derived from Scopus citation data. Because JCR ranks against Web of Science and Scimago against Scopus, the two can differ, so check Clarivate's site directly if you need the JCR quartile specifically.
Is Biological Cybernetics open access?
Our index records its access status as "hybrid". Where this is derived from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic, so confirm on the journal's own site — particularly if an article processing charge matters to you.
How long does Biological Cybernetics take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Biological Cybernetics takes about 8 days (median) — Publisher-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Biological Cybernetics.
