Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets

Our screening flags Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets as a possible predatory venue because its publisher appears on Beall's archive, which has been frozen since 2017. Treat this as a prompt to check carefully, not a verdict: verify against DOAJ and Think. Check. Submit before submitting.

Per our venue index, Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets appears in: Scopus, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

Papers in Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets are cited about 1.3 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q3, with an h-index of 58. 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 Disorders - Drug Targets is Q3 in 3 of its 4 subject categories and Q4 in the other 1. By category: Microbiology (medical): Q3, #111 of 149; Pharmacology: Q3, #237 of 339; Medicine (miscellaneous): Q3, #1,739 of 2,517; Molecular Medicine: Q4, #154 of 181. Its best category quartile is Q3. 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 Disorders - Drug Targets is cited about 1.3 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 58.

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 Disorders - Drug Targets. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q3 in Microbiology (medical) 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 "subscription". 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.
