Frequently asked questions about Data

Is Data a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Data: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list.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 Data?

Data 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 PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date.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 1.84.

Is Data indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Data is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ.
