Journals listed in Web of Science and JCR receive many submissions and desk reject a large share. A section-by-section audit by a PhD reviewer in your area shows what to fix first.
Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Q1Pharmacology & Pharmacyrank 74 of 371 journals
- Q2Microbiologyrank 54 of 171 journals
Quartiles here rank journals of the same Web of Science category by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR quartiles.

Find the right journal for your paper
Is Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy right for your paper? Compare journals
Paste your title, keywords or abstract. We match it against 156,503 published journal papers, by ScholarsColab mentors and other researchers, and show where the closest work appeared, with each journal’s indexing (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus, JCR 2024).
How it works: no AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; “not found in our indexing lists” does not prove a journal is unindexed. Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
