Here in this post, apart from Molecular Cell Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Molecular Cell Journal
Molecular Cell is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers research on cell biology at the molecular level, with an emphasis on new mechanistic insights. It was established in 1997 and is published two times per month.

Molecular Cell Impact Factor
Impact Factor (IF) or often called journal impact factor (JIF) is an index provided by an analytics company named Clarivate. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of times the articles are cited in the last two years by the total number of publications in those two years.
- Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500
- Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100
- Impact Factor of the Journal in 2022 = 500/100 = 5
Molecular Cell Nature Impact Factor (2019-2022)
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2017 – 14.248
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2018 – 14.548
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2019 – 15.584
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2020 – 17.970
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2021 – 19.328
- Molecular Cell Impact Factor 2022 – 16.0 (updated 29 June 2023)

Molecular Cell H-index
The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.
The h index of Molecular Cell Journal is 414, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 414 of these publications have received at least 414 citations each.
Molecular Cell Journal Metrics
Molecular Cell CiteScore
CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal.
Molecular Cell SCImago Rank
The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where the citations come from.
| Year | SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) |
|---|---|
| 2018 | 12.076 |
| 2019 | 11.075 |
| 2020 | 12.615 |
| 2021 | 9.959 |
