Is Nature Portfolio Scopus indexed?
Indexes such as Scopus and Web of Science list journals one by one, so a publisher is never indexed as a whole. For Nature Portfolio:
| Index | Journals | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Scopus | 104 | 98% |
| Web of Science: SCIE, SSCI or AHCI | 89 | 84% |
| Web of Science: ESCI | 5 | 5% |
| Journal Citation Reports 2024 | 94 | 89% |
| DOAJ (fully open access) | 36 | 34% |
Always confirm the journal itself on the Web of Science Master Journal List or the Scopus source list before you submit; each journal page links to them.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nature Portfolio Scopus indexed?
Scopus indexes journals one by one, not publishers. Of the 106 Nature Portfolio journals in our data, 104 (98%) are in the Scopus list. Check the exact journal in the table, and confirm on the Scopus source list before you submit.
Are Nature Portfolio journals in Web of Science (SCIE)?
89 of its 106 journals are in the Science, Social Sciences or Arts & Humanities Citation Index (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) and 5 in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Only journals in SCIE, SSCI or AHCI get an official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate.
Which Nature Portfolio journal has the highest impact factor?
By the impact factor* calculated from OpenAlex open data, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology is the highest, at 44.2. This is not the official Clarivate value; check Journal Citation Reports for that.
Does Nature Portfolio have open access journals?
36 of its journals are fully open access and listed in DOAJ; those with an article fee charge a median of about US$3,690. Many of its other journals are hybrid: publishing is free unless you choose open access for your article.
Can I get an APC waiver from Nature Portfolio?
Waivers depend on the journal and on the countries of all authors. The free APC waiver checker on ScholarsColab tests a journal or publisher against your author team.
