About Physics of the Dark Universe
About Physics of the Dark Universe
Physics of the Dark Universe is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Elsevier B.V. (Netherlands). It focuses on Q1. Publication coverage spans 2012-2026.
Key indicators: ISSN 2212-6864; H-index 69.
Understanding This Journal's Metrics
Journal metrics help researchers assess fit, but they must be interpreted in context:
- H-index (69): Strong citation impact — 69 articles cited at least 69 times each, reflecting solid influence.
Publishing in Physics of the Dark Universe
An established venue in its field. The journal welcomes solid, well-executed research. Ensure your manuscript fits the stated scope and follows author guidelines carefully.
- Scope fit: Confirm your research aligns with Q1. Off-scope manuscripts are typically desk-rejected quickly.
- Author guidelines: Follow formatting, reference style, and article-type requirements exactly — non-compliant manuscripts may be returned without review.
Is This Journal Right for Your Paper?
- Audience match: Will the journal's readers cite and build on your findings?
- Timeline: Higher-tier journals mean longer review and higher rejection risk. Balance prestige against your schedule.
- Indexing: Confirm indexing in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed (if biomedical) meets your institutional requirements.
- Open access needs: Check funder mandates and whether the journal offers compliant OA options.
