2026 Journal Metrics Score

0.0

Updated August 2026 · 2-year citation average from OpenAlex data

The Journal Metrics Score is the two-year mean citedness of a journal, computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works. Quartiles rank journals within each OpenAlex subfield by score. Data source: OpenAlex (CC0).

Is Journal of Machine Learning Research a good journal?

A lower-cited Q4 journal by citation data

By citation data, Journal of Machine Learning Research is in the lowest quartile in Artificial Intelligence and 2 other subfields and ranks #2,074 of 2,118 Computer Science journals by Journal Metrics Score (top 98%). A Q4 placement means its papers are cited less than most in the subfield; on its own it does not mean the journal is predatory or that its peer review is weak. Journal of Machine Learning Research's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 0.0. OpenAlex classifies its papers in subfields including Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, and Statistics and Probability, so check that your topic fits its scope.
