In this post, apart from Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Frontiers in Materials Journal
Frontiers in Materials is a multidisciplinary journal that explores the breadth of materials science, engineering and mechanics – from carbon-based materials to smart materials.
Impact Factor
SJR Rank
H-index
Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor
Impact Factor (IF) or often called journal impact factor (JIF) is an index provided by an analytics company named Clarivate. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of times the articles are cited in the last two years by the total number of publications in those two years.
- Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500
- Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100
- Impact Factor of the Journal in 2022 = 500/100 = 5
Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor (2017-2021)
- Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor 2017 – 2.008
- Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor 2018 – 2.689
- Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor 2019 – 2.705
- Frontiers in Materials Impact Factor 2020 – 3.515

Frontiers in Materials H-index
The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.
The h index of Frontiers in Materials Journal is 32, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 32 of these publications have received at least 32 citations each.
Frontiers in Materials Journal Metrics
