Metrics
“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.
Indexing & access
Access status: unknown. Where this comes from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic — confirm on the journal’s own site, especially regarding any article processing charge.
Scope
Frequently asked
Is IEEE Transactions on Information Theory a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. 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 IEEE Transactions on Information Theory indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 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 IEEE Transactions on Information Theory's impact?
Papers in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory are cited about 1.7 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 444.
