01Impact factor
Impact factor of MicroRNA (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers MicroRNA published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate; the value above is how often its recent papers are cited.

Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of MicroRNA
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). MicroRNA is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

02Review time
Review time of MicroRNA
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles MicroRNA published between Nov 2024 and Aug 2026 were accepted within 112 days of submission, and the middle half took between 84 and 143 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.
In Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, MicroRNA ranks 60 of 137 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology →
03Fee waivers
APC waivers and discounts for MicroRNA
MicroRNA follows the waiver policy of its publisher, Bentham Science: 50% discount for corresponding authors in countries on Bentham's low-income list. Only the corresponding author's affiliation counts. Co-authors from other countries do not change the waiver.
Waivers apply to fully open access journals. If MicroRNA is a hybrid journal, you can publish without any fee through the subscription route.

Retractions and research integrity at MicroRNA
Most common reasons (a retraction can have several):
MicroRNA has 1 retracted paper in the Retraction Watch database, the latest in Feb 2016. A retraction count is not a verdict on a journal: large journals publish more and journals that investigate actively retract more. The trend and the reasons tell you more than the number.

No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 156,503 real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; the impact factor is calculated from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
07Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long is the review time of MicroRNA?
Based on 57 research articles MicroRNA published from Nov 2024 to Aug 2026, the median time from submission to acceptance was 112 days, and half of them were accepted between 84 and 143 days. After acceptance, papers appeared online after a median of 211 days. Source: received and accepted dates deposited by the publisher in Crossref, retrieved October 2026. Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of MicroRNA?
Based on OpenAlex citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of MicroRNA is 1.56: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 1.56 times on average in a year. The journal is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.
What is the h-index of MicroRNA?
The h-index of MicroRNA is 34 (OpenAlex, October 2026): 34 of its papers have each been cited at least 34 times. Its i10-index is 156.
What is the quartile of MicroRNA?
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). MicroRNA is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.
Is MicroRNA indexed in Scopus?
Yes. MicroRNA appears in the Scopus list, according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
Is MicroRNA an SCIE journal?
MicroRNA is listed in ESCI of the Web of Science Core Collection, but not in SCIE, according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
Is MicroRNA in Journal Citation Reports (JCR)?
MicroRNA is not listed in the JCR 2024 list, according to the indexing lists used on ScholarsColab (updated 1 March 2026). Always confirm the current status on the official list before submitting.
Does MicroRNA offer an APC waiver?
MicroRNA follows the policy of Bentham Science: 50% discount for corresponding authors in countries on Bentham's low-income list. Only the corresponding author's affiliation counts. Co-authors from other countries do not change the waiver. Rules verified 27 October 2026; confirm on the publisher's page.
Has MicroRNA retracted papers?
Yes. The Retraction Watch database lists 1 retracted paper in MicroRNA, 0 of them in the last 10 years; the most common reasons are conflict of interest. A retraction count alone is not a verdict on a journal; look at the trend and the reasons. Data updated October 2026.
