Designs Codes and Cryptography

Our screening does not flag Designs Codes and Cryptography. 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.

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

Papers in Designs Codes and Cryptography are cited about 1.3 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 89. 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.

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Designs Codes and Cryptography is Q1 in 1 of its 4 subject categories and Q2 in the other 3. By category: Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics: Q1, #23 of 97; Theoretical Computer Science: Q2, #38 of 128; Applied Mathematics: Q2, #192 of 658; Computer Science Applications: Q2, #288 of 875. Its best category quartile is Q1. 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; Designs Codes and Cryptography is cited about 1.3 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 89.

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 Designs Codes and Cryptography. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics, 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.

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.

Submission to acceptance for Designs Codes and Cryptography takes about 255 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=20 papers). 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 Designs Codes and Cryptography.
