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 Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering 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
- Engineering, Civilrank 106 of 193 journals
- Water Resourcesrank 95 of 138 journals
- Engineering, Oceanrank 13 of 18 journals
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 Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering
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). Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering 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 Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering
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 Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering published between Nov 2024 and Jan 2027 were accepted within 149 days of submission, and the middle half took between 107 and 193 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 Engineering, Civil, Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering ranks 20 of 72 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Engineering, Civil →

05How to submit
How to submit to Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering accepts. You find it on the journal's website at American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), usually under "For authors".
- Format to the journal's style. Check whether it wants a Word file, a LaTeX file or a PDF for the first submission, and follow its reference style; many journals accept any clear format at first and ask for their style only after acceptance.
- Check the fit. Compare your title and abstract with the papers it has published; 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. Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering 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 156,724 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 from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
