The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Materials Letters 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 Letters?
Materials Letters is the 91st out of 428 Condensed Matter Physics journals. This Journal is the 109th out of 667 Mechanical Engineering journals. This means the journal is among the top 17% in the discipline of Mechanical Engineering. This Journal is the 310th out of 2,076 Physics journals. This means the journal is among the top 15% in the discipline of Physics. This Journal is the 321st out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This Journal is the 557th out of 3,258 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 18% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 751st out of 5,488 Applied Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% in the science branch of Applied Sciences. This Journal is the 1604th out of 12,155 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 14% 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.
