New Impact Factors for Materials Today Journals

The Web of Science Group, part of Clarivate Analytics, has recently released the 2020 Journal Citation Report (JCR), reporting on the citation behavior of high-quality journals spanning all disciplines. 

The latest report includes first impact factors for several journals in the family; namely, Materials Today Physics (10.443), Materials Today Energy (5.604), Composites Communications (4.915), and Energy Storage Materials (16.28). Elsevier's materials science journals continue to feature at the top of the materials science category listings, including strong results for the journals Materials Today (26.416), Nano Energy (16.602), Biomaterials (10.317) and Carbon (8.821).

Dr Christiane Barranguet, Publishing Director for Materials Today said “These results again demonstrate the trust the community has put into the Materials Today family. We thank all the editors, authors, and reviewers for all their support, and for giving us the opportunity to help share materials science knowledge and experience." Adding that "Of course, all metrics should be used in context, appropriately, with both quantitative and qualitative indicators used together."
