PLoS Computational Biology is a journal covering the technologies/fields/categories related to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience (Q1); Computational Theory and Mathematics (Q1); Ecology (Q1); Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics (Q1); Genetics (Q1); Modeling and Simulation (Q1); Molecular Biology (Q1). It is published by Public Library of Science. The overall rank of PLoS Computational Biology is 1476. According to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), this journal is ranked 1.872. 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 205. The best quartile for this journal is Q1.
The ISSN of PLoS Computational Biology journal is 15537358, 1553734X. 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. PLoS Computational Biology is cited by a total of 11019 articles during the last 3 years (Preceding 2022).
The Impact IF 2022 of PLoS Computational Biology is 4.01, which is computed in 2023 as per its definition. PLoS Computational Biology IF is decreased by a factor of 0.6 and approximate percentage change is -13.02% when compared to preceding year 2021, 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 2022 of PLoS Computational Biology is 4.01. If the same downward trend persists, Impact IF may fall in 2023 as well.

If your research field is/are related to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience (Q1); Computational Theory and Mathematics (Q1); Ecology (Q1); Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics (Q1); Genetics (Q1); Modeling and Simulation (Q1); Molecular Biology (Q1), then please visit the official website of this journal.
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.
