Understanding This Journal's Metrics
Journal metrics help researchers assess fit, but they must be interpreted in context:
- H-index (156): Exceptionally high — 156 articles have each been cited at least 156 times. This indicates deep, sustained influence in the field.
Publishing in Robotics and Autonomous Systems
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.
- Submission: Submit via the official journal website.
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.
