• 0.8 Impact Factor 2023
  The journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.
• 0.7 5 year Impact Factor 2023
  The 5-year journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years.
• Q4Quartile: Ecology 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their impact factor. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 0.20 Journal Citation Indicator (Ecology) 2023
  The Journal Citation Indicator is a measure of the average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of citable items (articles & reviews) published by a journal over a recent three year period. It is used to help you evaluate journals based on other metrics besides the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).

SCOPUS

• 1.2 CiteScore 2023
  CiteScore acts as an indicator of the citation level of peer-reviewed materials, which is calculated as the ratio of the average number of citations to the number of published documents. Therewith, the publication window is equal to four years.
• 0.81Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2023
  Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
• 0.300 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2023
  SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of 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 such citations come from.
• Q3Quartile: Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their SJR. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 18H-Index 2023
  A journal has an H index of h if it published h papers each of which has been cited in other journals at least h times. Calculations are based on Scopus.

Russian Journal of Biological Invasions  is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original scientific articles dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and covers the following subjects: description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of native ecosystems; monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, colonization dynamics, rates of naturalization); invasion risk assessment; genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species; methods, means of accumulation, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, databases) with factual and geoinformation system applications; use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial species, populations, communities, and ecosystems; control, rational use, and eradication of the dangerous alien species. The journal has the aim to become an international publication and publishes manuscripts originally submitted in English from all countries along with translated works.

The target audience of the journal are scientists, graduate students, decision-makers at the local, regional and national levels, as well as local, regional, national and international centers for collective use to create a database of alien and invasive species.
