Journal of Computational Physics current release and JCR quartile

Journal of Computational Physics's newest impact factor is 3.9, released June 17, 2026 and based on 2025 citation data. The journal is listed as JCR Q1 in this Journal Metrics record.

Use this record to check the journal title, ISSN, JCR quartile, CAS block, publisher details, and similar journals before comparing publication venues.

If you searched for Journal of Computational Physics impact factor, compare this exact title record with the journal homepage and nearby journals in the same field. That helps avoid mixing this journal with a similarly named title, abbreviation, society series, or outdated metric snippet.

Current release and source check

This page is designed for exact-title searches such as Journal of Computational Physics impact factor. First confirm that the ISSN and title match this record before using the metric in a journal shortlist or submission decision.

For high-stakes submission decisions, verify the title against the publisher record at the journal homepage, Clarivate's Master Journal List or Journal Citation Reports if you have access, and the context in our methodology. Treat the JCR quartile, article volume, and similar journals as supporting context rather than a single-number publication decision.
