This Journal is the 153rd out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This means the journal is among the top 11% in the discipline of Materials Science. This Journal is the 240th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 10% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 293rd out of 4,401 Applied Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 7% in the science branch of Applied Sciences. This Journal is the 603rd out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 6% 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.
