The graph shows the changes in the impact factor of Progress in Materials 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 Progress in Materials Science?
Progress in Materials Science is the 4th out of 1,481 Materials Science journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% in the discipline of Materials Science. This Journal is the 5th out of 2,661 Chemistry journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% in the discipline of Chemistry. This Journal is the 7th out of 11,479 Physical Sciences journals. This means the journal is among the top 1% 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.
