Disclaimer

Last updated: May 2026

Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using Scientific Journal Finder. By using the site you acknowledge and accept the points below.

1. Journal Metrics Reflect Source Data at a Point in Time

Impact factors, quartile rankings, indexing status, access type, and first decision times shown on this site reflect data sourced from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Scopus, and publisher websites as of the listed reporting year. These metrics are recalculated annually by their respective publishers and can change without notice. Always check the publisher's current journal page for the latest figures before making a submission decision.

2. Informational Use Only — No Guarantee of Acceptance

Scientific Journal Finder is an informational tool. The journal recommendations it produces are based on text similarity, subject category alignment, and keyword matching. They do not constitute editorial advice and are not a guarantee that a recommended journal will accept your manuscript. Editorial decisions are made by journal editors and peer reviewers using criteria far beyond keyword overlap, including originality, methodological rigour, novelty, and current editorial priorities.

3. Verify Scope and Current Status Before Submission

Journal scope, aims, article-type acceptance policies, article processing charges (APCs), peer-review timelines, and indexing status can change. Some journals may be temporarily on hold, paused for new submissions, or recently de-indexed. You are responsible for verifying the most current scope and submission requirements directly on the publisher's official website before submitting any manuscript.

4. No Affiliation with Any Listed Publisher

Scientific Journal Finder is an independent project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, MDPI, Frontiers, IEEE, ACS, RSC, Clarivate, or any other publisher whose journals appear in our database. Journal names, logos, and metrics referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and informational purposes only.

5. Use at Your Own Discretion

While we work to keep the journal database accurate and helpful, we accept no liability for any consequences resulting from reliance on the information presented, including missed submission deadlines, unsuccessful submissions, APCs paid, or any other professional or financial outcomes.
