Here in this post, apart from Science Advances Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Science Advances Journal
Science Advances is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary open-access scientific journal established in early 2015 and published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Science Advances 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
Science Advances Nature Impact Factor (2017-2023)
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2017 – 11.511
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2018 – 12.804
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2019 – 13.117
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2020 – 14.136
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2021 – 14.957
- Science Advances Impact Factor 2022 – 13.6 (updated 29 June 2023)

Science Advances 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 Science Advances Journal is 178, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 178 of these publications have received at least 178 citations each.
Science Advances Journal Metrics
Science Advances CiteScore
CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal.
Science Advances SCImago Rank
The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where the citations come from.
| Year | SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) |
|---|---|
| 2018 | 6.267 |
| 2019 | 6.062 |
| 2020 | 5.928 |
| 2021 | 4.586 |
