Indexing & Abstracting

Informatica is indexed/abstracted in major bibliographic databases and is discoverable through widely used scholarly search and library services. Coverage can vary by year, format (print vs. online), and content type, and some services may not include all years of the journal.

Notes

  • Inclusion in an indexing/abstracting service does not imply endorsement by that service.
  • If you are evaluating coverage for a specific year, we recommend checking the relevant database directly or contacting the editorial office.

 

* Please note that in early 2026, Informatica is undergoing a Scopus re-evaluation. This process may temporarily pause the indexing of newly published articles, and is expected to take several weeks. Scopus will then either resume coverage for content published from the date the re-evaluation was initiated onward or discontinue coverage for new articles (previously indexed content generally remains indexed). Authors should take this temporary uncertainty into account when deciding where to submit their work.

Informatica has been published for 50 years, with all issues available online, and has been indexed in Scopus since its early years. The journal continuously improves its editorial and publishing processes. As part of these efforts, we recently upgraded our website and submission platform to address outdated versions of certain operating systems and tools. Informatica remains highly selective: in 2025, we published 1051 papers out of 4227 submissions (rejection rate: 75.13%).
