“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.

Frequently asked

Is Soft Matter a predatory journal?

Our screening does not flag Soft Matter. 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, PubMed, which is a positive signal.

Is Soft Matter indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?

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

What is Soft Matter's impact?

Papers in Soft Matter are cited about 2.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 230. This is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric — and a citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.

Is Soft Matter open access?

We hold no reliable open-access classification for Soft Matter. Check the journal's own site for its access model and any article processing charge.
