“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.

Scimago Journal Rank 2025
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Neural Computing and Applications is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories.
| Subject category | Quartile | Rank in category |
|---|---|---|
| Software | Q1 | #65 of 392 |
| Artificial Intelligence | Q1 | #96 of 434 |
- Cites per document (2 years, Scopus)
- 6.71
- Documents indexed in 2025 (Scopus)
- 1,241
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).
Neural Computing and Applications is Q1 in all 2 of its Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Software: Q1, #65 of 392), with SJR 1.067 (Scimago) and an h-index of 190 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, PubMed.

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.

Frequently asked
Is Neural Computing and Applications a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Neural Computing and Applications. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Neural Computing and Applications indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Neural Computing and Applications appears in: Scopus, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Neural Computing and Applications?
Papers in Neural Computing and Applications are cited about 6.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 190. 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 Neural Computing and Applications (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Neural Computing and Applications is Q1 in all 2 of its subject categories. By category: Software: Q1, #65 of 392; Artificial Intelligence: Q1, #96 of 434. 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; Neural Computing and Applications is cited about 6.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 190.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Neural Computing and Applications?
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 Neural Computing and Applications. The open equivalent is its Scimago quartile, Q1, 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 Neural Computing and Applications open access?
Our index records its access status as "hybrid". 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 Neural Computing and Applications take to publish a paper?
Submission to acceptance for Neural Computing and Applications takes about 247 days (median) — Estimated from our library (n=19 papers). 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 Neural Computing and Applications.
