Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal.
Nature Structural and Molecular Biology is a journal covering the technologies/fields/categories related to Molecular Biology (Q1); Structural Biology (Q1). It is published by Nature Research. The overall rank of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology is 201. According to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), this journal is ranked 6.187. SCImago Journal Rank is an indicator, which measures the scientific influence of journals. It considers the number of citations received by a journal and the importance of the journals from where these citations come. SJR acts as an alternative to the Journal Impact Factor (or an average number of citations received in last 2 years). This journal has an h-index of 310. The best quartile for this journal is Q1.
The ISSN of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology journal is 15459993, 15459985. An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique code of 8 digits. It is used for the recognition of journals, newspapers, periodicals, and magazines in all kind of forms, be it print-media or electronic. Nature Structural and Molecular Biology is cited by a total of 4146 articles during the last 3 years (Preceding 2024).
The Impact IF 2024 of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology is 6.42, which is computed in 2025 as per its definition. Nature Structural and Molecular Biology IF is decreased by a factor of 1.89 and approximate percentage change is -22.74% when compared to preceding year 2023, which shows a falling trend. The impact IF, also denoted as Journal impact score (JIS), of an academic journal is a measure of the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is based on Scopus data.
Impact IF 2024 of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology is 6.42. If the same downward trend persists, Impact IF may fall in 2025 as well.

The acceptance rate/percentage of any academic journal/conference depends upon many parameters. Some of the critical parameters are listed below.
It is essential to understand that the acceptance rate/rejection rate of papers varies among journals. Some Journals considers all the manuscripts submissions as a basis of acceptance rate computation. On the other hand, few consider the only manuscripts sent for peer review or few even not bother about the accurate maintenance of total submissions. Hence, it can provide a rough estimation only.
The best way to find out the acceptance rate is to reach out to the associated editor or to check the official website of the Journal/Conference.
