Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of 2D Materials (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers 2D Materials published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Physics, Appliedrank 64 of 199 journals
- Materials Science, Multidisciplinaryrank 200 of 489 journals
- Nanoscience & Nanotechnologyrank 75 of 155 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of 2D Materials
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). 2D Materials is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.
Citations and papers per year
Article processing charge listed at about US$3,895.
02Fee waivers
APC waivers and discounts for 2D Materials
2D Materials follows the waiver policy of its publisher, IOP Publishing: 100%, 70% or 30% discount by World Bank income group (2026 pilot), automatic when all authors are eligible. Applied automatically when all authors are in eligible countries; on request when the corresponding author and the majority of co-authors are.
Authors affiliated in 27 countries qualify for a full waiver. See the countries →
Waivers apply to fully open access journals. If 2D Materials is a hybrid journal, you can publish without any fee through the subscription route.

Paste your title, keywords or abstract. See the journals that published the closest papers, with indexing, impact factor, review time and APC.
No AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of 156,503 real published journal papers, by our mentors and by other researchers (shown without names); journals are ranked by how many closely matching papers they published. Indexing comes from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR 2024 lists, matched by journal name; the impact factor is calculated from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value, and no quartile is shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be; review time comes from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref (not every publisher deposits them). Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
