Impact factor of Bioacoustics (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Bioacoustics published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, calculated by ScholarsColab. 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.

Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Bioacoustics
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Bioacoustics is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

02Review time
Review time of Bioacoustics
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median; the whiskers reach the fastest 10% and the slowest 10%. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Bioacoustics published between Oct 2024 and Sep 2026 were accepted within 172 days of submission, and the middle half took between 111 and 268 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.
In Zoology, Bioacoustics ranks 31 of 48 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Zoology →

05How to submit
How to submit to Bioacoustics
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Bioacoustics accepts. Open the official guide for authors and submit from the same page.
- Use the journal's template. Taylor and Francis Ltd. offers Word and LaTeX templates for many of its journals. If your manuscript is in Word and the journal wants LaTeX, our LaTeX Template Conversion moves it into the template. If the language or structure needs work first, manuscript editing by a PhD editor in your field is priced by word count (see the editing cost guide).
- Check the fit. Read the aims and scope and a few recent issues; papers outside the scope are the most common reason for a desk rejection. The Journal Finder shows journals that published the closest work.
- Check the fee. Bioacoustics is not a fully open access journal, so authors usually pay nothing unless they choose open access for their article or the journal charges page or colour fees. The guide for authors states the current charges.
- Check your manuscript before you submit. The free Submission Readiness Check asks the seven questions our reviewers ask in every audit and takes about 2 minutes.

No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 157,397 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; the impact factor is calculated by ScholarsColab, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time is the median days from submission to acceptance (not every publisher publishes these dates). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.

How long is the review time of Bioacoustics?
Based on 80 research articles Bioacoustics published from Oct 2024 to Sep 2026, the median time from submission to acceptance was 172 days, and half of them were accepted between 111 and 268 days. After acceptance, papers appeared online after a median of 24 days. Data updated October 2026. Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of Bioacoustics?
Based on ScholarsColab citation data (October 2026), the 2-year impact factor of Bioacoustics is 1.91: papers it published in the two previous years were cited 1.91 times on average in a year. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so Clarivate also publishes an official Journal Impact Factor, which can differ.
What is the h-index of Bioacoustics?
The h-index of Bioacoustics is 57 (October 2026): 57 of its papers have each been cited at least 57 times. Its i10-index is 458.
