Viruses Receives an Updated Impact Factor of 3.8


After achieving a new CiteScore of 7.3, placing Viruses (ISSN: 1999-4915) in Q1 in the “Infectious Diseases” category, we would like to share that Viruses also received a new impact factor of 3.8, placing it in Q2 in the “Virology” category according to Journal Citation Reports 2023. Despite a slight drop, likely due to the COVID-19 impact over the previous years, among other factors (in the context of the overall WoS journals), we are steadily improving.

At MDPI, our mission is simple yet powerful: we strive every day to make scientific research freely accessible to everyone, everywhere. With over 3.5 million authors choosing MDPI, we have established ourselves as a key player driving the open access initiative.

Our journals have received over 13 million citations in the Web of Science, making us the most cited open access publisher. With over 800 institutional partners, MDPI continues to demonstrate its dedication to providing reliable and collaborative publishing services.
