How many SCI journals are there in Engineering?
As of October 2026, JournalCompass lists 1538 journals in the Engineering major category of the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition): 94 in Zone 1, 192 in Zone 2, 297 in Zone 3 and 884 in Zone 4, 117 of them Top journals. By database: SCIE 929, SSCI 49, A&HCI 4 and ESCI 541 (a journal can be indexed in more than one).
Which Engineering journals are in CAS Zone 1?
By impact factor, the Zone 1 journals in Engineering include Progress in Energy and Combustion Science (impact factor 41.82), Nature Electronics (impact factor 41.8), Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics (impact factor 25.56), International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (impact factor 25.04), INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MACHINE TOOLS & MANUFACTURE (impact factor 24.04), 94 in all; see the full list of Zone 1 Engineering journals.
Which Engineering journals have fast peer review?
Across the 1295 Engineering journals with review-time data, the median review time is about 15.1 weeks. Among Zone 1–2 journals, fast ones include Protection and Control of Modern Power Systems (about 4 weeks, community reports), Progress in Electromagnetics Research-PIER (about 4.3 weeks, community reports), IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I Regular Papers (about 4.5 weeks, community reports), IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (about 4.5 weeks, community reports), IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications (about 4.5 weeks, community reports). Review times come first from article statistics (the median from submission to acceptance over the last 24 months), then from publisher figures and community reports; a single manuscript can take much longer or shorter.
Which Engineering journals charge no APC?
148 journals in Engineering charge authors no article processing charge (APC); those with the highest impact factors include International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (impact factor 25.04), Ingenieria Solidaria (impact factor 23), Industrial Chemistry & Materials (impact factor 15.7), International Journal of Mining Science and Technology (impact factor 15.7), Protection and Control of Modern Power Systems (impact factor 13.71); see the list of Engineering journals with no APC. Subscription journals usually charge no APC but may charge for colour figures or extra pages; check the journal's website before submitting.
