Impact factor of Signals (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Signals 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.

06Journal Finder
Find the right journal for your paper
Is Signals right for your paper? Compare journals
Paste your title, keywords or abstract. We match it against 156,435 published journal papers, by ScholarsColab mentors and other researchers, and show where the closest work appeared, with each journal’s indexing (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus, JCR 2024).
How it works: no AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 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; “not found in our indexing lists” does not prove a journal is unindexed. Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
