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: Solids and Surfaces?
Applied Physics A: Solids and Surfaces is the 53rd out of 71 Applied Physics journals. This Journal is the 1202nd out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This Journal is the 1621st out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 2009th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 8481st 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.
