“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.

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).

International Journal of Modelling and Simulation is Q2 in all 8 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Hardware and Architecture: Q2, #76 of 176), with SJR 0.527 (Scimago) and an h-index of 43 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, Web of Science.

Frequently asked

Is International Journal of Modelling and Simulation a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag International Journal of Modelling and Simulation. 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, which is a positive signal.

Is International Journal of Modelling and Simulation indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

Per our venue index, International Journal of Modelling and Simulation appears in: Scopus, Web of Science. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.

What is the impact factor of International Journal of Modelling and Simulation?

Papers in International Journal of Modelling and Simulation are cited about 5.2 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 43. 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 International Journal of Modelling and Simulation (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?

In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, International Journal of Modelling and Simulation is Q2 in all 8 of its subject categories. By category: Hardware and Architecture: Q2, #76 of 176; Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering: Q2, #133 of 398; Modeling and Simulation: Q2, #135 of 335; Mechanics of Materials: Q2, #155 of 412; Mathematics (miscellaneous): Q2, #163 of 499; Software: Q2, #176 of 392; Engineering (miscellaneous): Q2, #179 of 569; Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Q2, #302 of 811. 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; International Journal of Modelling and Simulation is cited about 5.2 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 43.

What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of International Journal of Modelling and Simulation?

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 International Journal of Modelling and Simulation. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q2, 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 International Journal of Modelling and Simulation open access?

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.

How long does International Journal of Modelling and Simulation take to publish a paper?

Submission to first decision for International Journal of Modelling and Simulation takes about 34 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.

What is the acceptance rate of International Journal of Modelling and Simulation?

International Journal of Modelling and Simulation reports an acceptance rate of about 6% — Publisher-reported. Acceptance rates vary by article type and change from year to year, and a publisher-stated figure is the journal's own, so treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee.
