2011 Impact Factors

Quality remains at the heart of RSC Publishing,and the fact that we published 4 times as many articles in 2011 as we did in 2006 hasn't changed that.

Our exceptional standards are reinforced by the recently published 2011 Journal Citation Reports ®.

Individual journal highlights includeChemComm(6.17),Green 新利手机客户端Chemistry(6.32),Energy & Environmental 新利手机客户端Science(9.61),Natural Product Reports(9.79) and ChemSocRev(28.76).

And impressive first (partial) Impact Factors were recorded forChemical 新利手机客户端Science(7.525) andPolymer 新利手机客户端Chemistry (5.321).

But how do we measure up when compared with other publishers?

  • The average impact factor (IF) for a 新利手机客户端chemistry journal* stands at 2.67: our average IF is 5.46
  • Of the top 20 journals in the multidisciplinary 新利手机客户端chemistry category,six are from RSC Publishing.This is more than any other Society publisher
  • 11 of our 27 journals have an IF of 5 and above
  • Looking at 5-year IFs,we have more titles in the top 20 than any other publisher

So the figures speak for themselves: for guaranteed impact,choose RSC Publishing.

ǂ Partial IF only,based on five issues or less

The Impact Factor provides an indication of the average number of citations per paper.Produced annually,Impact Factors are calculated by dividing the number of citations in a year,by the number of citeable articles published in the preceding two years.

The 5-Year Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from a journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year.For journals in subjects where citation activity continues to rise through several years,this metric allows more of their total citation activity to be included in a critical performance metric.
