The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Surface Science and its the corresponding percentile for the sake of comparison with the entire literature. Impact Factor is the most common scientometric index, which is defined by the number of citations of papers in two preceding years divided by the number of papers published in those years.
How Influential is Surface Science?
Surface Science is the 122nd out of 229 Materials Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 147th out of 308 Inorganic Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 151st out of 311 Physical Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 178th out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 593rd out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This Journal is the 660th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 992nd out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 3182nd out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals.
How are inpact factors calculated?
The impact factor (IF) is calculated by counting citations from peer-reviewed journals only.
extended IF also counts citations from books and conference papers. However, no patent, abstract, working papers, online documents, etc., are covered.
