Frequently asked questions about Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience

Is Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 100/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience?

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience 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 β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” 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 PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date.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 3.76.

Is Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ.
