Infectious Agents and Cancer

Our screening does not flag Infectious Agents and Cancer. 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 DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

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

Papers in Infectious Agents and Cancer are cited about 3.1 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 65. 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, Infectious Agents and Cancer is Q2 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q3 in the other 1. By category: Epidemiology: Q2, #55 of 175; Infectious Diseases: Q2, #101 of 369; Oncology: Q2, #164 of 426; Cancer Research: Q3, #120 of 235. 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; Infectious Agents and Cancer is cited about 3.1 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 65.

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 Infectious Agents and Cancer. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Epidemiology and 2 other categories, 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 "gold". 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.

Article processing charge (APC): €2,790 per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.

Submission to first decision for Infectious Agents and Cancer takes about 7 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.
