What is the impact factor of Journal of Computational Physics?
The impact factor is a figure Clarivate licenses, so it is not shown here. Its open counterpart is the 2-year mean citedness OpenAlex holds for Journal of Computational Physics: 4.19, the mean number of citations received by the journal's papers of the last two years. That ranks Journal of Computational Physics #2,425 of 18,122 journals, in the top 13%. The two figures follow the same idea on different records, so they are not equal.
What is the h-index of Journal of Computational Physics?
OpenAlex gives Journal of Computational Physics an h-index of 420: 420 of its papers have each been cited at least 420 times. That ranks #167 of 18,122 journals.
How much does Journal of Computational Physics publish?
OpenAlex records 21,549 works in Journal of Computational Physics from 1966 to 2026, cited 1,391,658 times in all, 64.6 citations per work. By total citations it ranks #227 of 18,122 journals.
Works recorded in OpenAlex for each year of publication. The last year is partial.

How these figures are made
Every figure is from OpenAlex's record of this journal, snapshot of 2026-10-14. The 2-year mean citedness is not Clarivate's impact factor: it counts the citations OpenAlex has recorded, so it differs from the licensed figure. Ranks are among the 18,122 journals with at least 1,000 works in OpenAlex and a record in 2025 or later that pass checks for record errors. Method and limits.
