The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Nature Materials 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 Nature Materials?
Nature Materials is the 1st out of 320 Mechanics of Materials journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% in the sub-discipline of Mechanics of Materials. This Journal is the 1st out of 551 Mechanics journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% in the sub-discipline of Mechanics. This Journal is the 2nd out of 667 Mechanical Engineering journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% in the discipline of Mechanical Engineering.

This means the journal is among the top 1% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 32nd out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% 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.
