The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Biomaterials 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 Biomaterials Science?
Biomaterials Science is the 24th out of 335 Biomedical Engineering journals. This means the journal is among the top 8% in the sub-discipline of Biomedical Engineering. This Journal is the 102nd out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the discipline of Materials Science. This Journal is the 159th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 181st out of 4,401 Applied Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 5% in the science branch of Applied Sciences. This Journal is the 370th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 4% 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.
