The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing 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 Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing?
Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing is the 16th out of 70 Applied Physics journals. This Journal is the 423rd out of 2,076 Physics journals. This Journal is the 426th out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This Journal is the 734th out of 3,258 Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 2155th out of 12,155 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 18% in the science branch of Physical Sciences.
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.
