The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Polymers 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 Polymers?
Polymers is the 11th out of 160 Chemical Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the sub-discipline of Chemical Physics. This Journal is the 32nd out of 235 Organic Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the sub-discipline of Organic Chemistry. This Journal is the 169th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 9% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 212nd out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the discipline of Materials Science. This Journal is the 347th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 934th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 9% 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.
