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.
Responding time
Turnaround figures are indicative, not a guarantee: DOAJ values are self-reported by the journal (average weeks, submission to publication); library estimates are medians of the received/accepted dates printed in papers we hold. Editorial times vary by article type and season — confirm on the journal’s own site.
Indexing & access
Access status: gold. 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 Mechanical Engineering Journal a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Mechanical Engineering Journal. 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, Web of Science, which is a positive signal.
Is Mechanical Engineering Journal indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Mechanical Engineering Journal appears in: DOAJ, 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 Mechanical Engineering Journal?
Papers in Mechanical Engineering Journal are cited about 0.5 times each within two years of publication, with an h-index of 19. 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.
Is Mechanical Engineering Journal open access?
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.
How long does Mechanical Engineering Journal take to publish a paper?
Submission to publication for Mechanical Engineering Journal takes about ~25 wk — DOAJ self-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. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Mechanical Engineering Journal.
