Elsevier Journal Computers in Biology and Medicine removed from Web of Science

The Journal “Computers in Biology and Medicine”, published by Elsevier, has now been officially removed from Clarivate’s Web of Science Coverage.

The journal focuses on revolutionary advances in the application of computers, artificial intelligence, and computational methods in the fields of bioscience and medicine.

Computers in Biology and Medicine was placed ” on hold ” in April 2024 by Clarivate after investigations revealed peer-review manipulation, fake reviewer identities, and conflicts of interest. On November 17, the journal’s coverage in the Web of Science Core Collection was formally discontinued. As a result, any content published by the journal after Volume 172 (2024) is not indexed in the Web of Science database.

Until these investigations are completed and a final decision is made, the journal remains on hold.

The journal remains indexed in other databases, such as Scopus and Embase.
