Accounts of Materials Research: the journal’s first impact factor released

On June 28, the Journal Citation Reports 2023, produced by Clarivate Analytics, released the impact factor of 14.6 for the journal Accounts of Materials Research (AMR). The journal AMR is sponsored by ShanghaiTech University, and jointly published by ShanghaiTech University and the American Chemical Society. It is the first impact factor for AMR to be released to the public.

AMR has been published monthly since October 2020. As of June 2023, it has published a total of 33 issues containing more than 300 accounts and opinion articles. The authors are from more than 20 countries, including Australia, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, and others.

AMR is the first international academic journal sponsored by ShanghaiTech University, and it has been successively included in ESCI and Scopus databases. The release of the first impact factor is a milestone in the development of the journal which will continue to welcome readers’ opinions and suggestions, to further improve the quality and to highlight its features, in order to provide better services for promoting the integration of different tracks in the field of materials science and for promoting the development of materials science internationally.
