Aims & Scope

Journal of Elasticity is a scholarly publication that promotes mechanics as a fundamental and applied science and is committed to communicating significant discoveries in the physical and mathematical science of solids. Reports original research in linear elasticity, nonlinear elasticity, and deformation coupled to heat and mass transport, chemical reactions, and electromagnetism. Includes studies of material defects, phase transformations, fracture, plasticity, scale effects, homogenization, discrete-to-continuum coarse-graining, and dimensional reduction. Publishes full research papers, research notes, historical essays, classroom notes that serve as effective teaching materials, and review articles. Features occasional dedicated collections of invited papers in emerging/cross-disciplinary areas such as chemomechanics, biomechanics, optomechanics, geomechanics, and polymer science. Offers free full colour printing and the possibility to publish papers open access.

Frequently asked questions about Journal of Elasticity

Is Journal of Elasticity a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Journal of Elasticity: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Journal of Elasticity?

Journal of Elasticity is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 2.09.

Is Journal of Elasticity indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Journal of Elasticity is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
