Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible research assessment in scholarly publishing.
The journal provides clear and verifiable information concerning its editorial performance and recognized journal-level metrics while avoiding unofficial, misleading, non-transparent, or unsubstantiated indicators.
Responsible Use of Metrics
The journal does not regard citation-based indicators as the sole measure of scholarly quality, scientific value, or research impact.
Journal-level metrics provide information about particular aspects of citation performance and scholarly visibility but should be interpreted together with qualitative considerations such as:
- scientific quality;
- methodological rigor;
- responsible peer review;
- editorial integrity;
- research ethics;
- transparency;
- reproducibility, where applicable;
- contribution to the relevant scholarly field.
Metrics are therefore presented for informational purposes and are not used to make unsupported claims concerning the scientific merit of individual articles, authors, or the journal as a whole.
Verified Journal Metrics
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is indexed in Scopus.
The journal’s current Scopus CiteScore is:
2025 CiteScore: 6.8
CiteScore is a journal-level citation metric provided by Scopus. It is calculated using a four-year publication and citation window and reflects the average citations received by eligible peer-reviewed document types indexed in Scopus during the relevant period.
Because journal metrics are updated over time, the year associated with each metric must always be reported together with the metric value.
Editorial and Publication Information
Where relevant and supported by verifiable records, the journal may report editorial and publication information such as:
- publication frequency;
- submission volumes;
- acceptance rates;
- peer-review timelines;
- publication timelines;
- readership or usage information;
- other relevant indicators of editorial activity.
Such information must be derived from internal editorial records or recognized bibliographic, indexing, abstracting, citation, or scholarly-metrics sources and must be presented with sufficient context to avoid misleading interpretation.
Unofficial and Misleading Metrics
The journal does not present unofficial or unverified impact factors, fabricated metrics, misleading rankings, or third-party indicators whose source or methodology cannot be adequately identified.
A metric must not be presented in a manner that implies recognition, indexing status, scientific quality, or institutional endorsement beyond what the underlying source actually establishes.
Where a metric is reported, the journal should identify the metric, the relevant year or reporting period, and the source where appropriate.
Updating of Metrics
Journal-level metrics and related information are reviewed periodically and updated when new verified data become available.
Historical metric values may be retained where useful, provided that the applicable year or reporting period is clearly identified and they are not presented as current values.
The journal’s approach to metrics is based on transparency, responsible interpretation, and the principle that no single quantitative indicator provides a complete assessment of scholarly quality.
