Frequently asked questions

Is Higher Education Press Scopus indexed?

Scopus indexes journals one by one, not publishers. Of the 15 Higher Education Press journals in our data, 15 (100%) are in the Scopus list. Check the exact journal in the table, and confirm on the Scopus source list before you submit.

11 of its 15 journals are in the Science, Social Sciences or Arts & Humanities Citation Index (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) and 3 in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Only journals in SCIE, SSCI or AHCI get an official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate.

Which Higher Education Press journal has the highest impact factor?

By the impact factor* calculated from OpenAlex open data, Frontiers of Computer Science is the highest, at 16.6. This is not the official Clarivate value; check Journal Citation Reports for that.

Does Higher Education Press have open access journals?

2 of its journals are fully open access and listed in DOAJ, and 2 list no article fee. Many of its other journals are hybrid: publishing is free unless you choose open access for your article.

Can I get an APC waiver from Higher Education Press?

Waivers depend on the journal and on the countries of all authors. The free APC waiver checker on ScholarsColab tests a journal or publisher against your author team.

Other publishers

Source and method. Journals and their publisher, impact factor*, open access status and APC come from OpenAlex open data and DOAJ (journal_metrics.csv, updated 2026-10-17); only journals in at least one of the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI or Scopus lists are counted. Imprints and spelling variants of the same publisher are combined. ScholarsColab is not affiliated with Higher Education Press.
