The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Materials Research 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 Materials Research?
Materials Research is the 162nd out of 320 Mechanics of Materials journals. This Journal is the 204th out of 551 Mechanics journals. This Journal is the 211st out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 276th out of 667 Mechanical Engineering journals. This Journal is the 674th out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This Journal is the 767th out of 2,084 Physics journals. This Journal is the 1126th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This Journal is the 1548th out of 4,401 Applied Sciences journals. This Journal is the 3672nd 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.
