NANO TODAY CONTINUES TO RANK AMONG WORLD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS WITH NEW IMPACT FACTOR 17.753

“Nano Today’s success is made possible by the contributions of our authors, reviewers and editorial advisory board. Besides the strong support of our publisher, Elsevier, I am very grateful to our Managing Editor, Noreena AbuBakar for her superb efforts. Nano Today will continue to strive to serve our community and readership by publishing exciting articles that feature the novel synthesis and applications of nanomaterials and nanosystems,” said Professor Jackie Y. Ying, Editor-in-Chief of Nano Today, and A*STAR Senior Fellow heading the NanoBio Lab (NBL), Singapore.

“Nano Today continues in its upward trajectory as a journal publishing high quality reviews, research articles and opinions in the broad field of nanoscience and technology”, said Anne Ruimy, interim Publisher, Materials Science journals, Elsevier. “This is evidenced by the increase in its 2017 Impact Factor. This achievement is due to the dedication of the Nano Today editorial team, which has its pulse on the most exciting topics in the field.”

The Nano Today journal is the only journal based in Asia to rank in the top 10 of the following three categories:

• #4 out of 92 journals in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

• #10 out of 285 journals in Materials Science (Multidisciplinary)

• #7 out of 171 journals in Chemistry (Multidisciplinary)

Nano Today is an international journal for research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. It provides comprehensive coverage of this exciting and dynamic field through a unique mixture of authoritative review articles, rapid communications, as well as the latest research news and opinions. The journal has consistently ranked among the world’s top journals since transitioning into a journal from a magazine format in 2009 under Prof. Ying’s leadership.

Nano Today is organizing the 6th Nano Today Conference with the NanoBio Lab and Elsevier. The conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal on June 16-20, 2019. Started in 2009, the Nano Today conference series, which is chaired by Professor Ying, has become a leading forum for the latest advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Organized biennially, the last conference was held in Hawaii in December 2017 with over 460 delegates.

The Journal Citation Reports®, published annually by Thomson Reuters, measures the research influence and impact at the journal and category levels in sciences and social sciences. The journal’s impact factor is the ratio of last year’s citations to articles published in that journal in the two previous years. The 2018 report, which is based on 2017 citation data, features 11,655 journal listings in 234 disciplines within 80 countries.
