Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Applied Surface Science Advances (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Applied Surface Science Advances 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

- Q1Physics, Appliedrank 43 of 199 journals
- Q1Physics, Condensed Matterrank 19 of 85 journals
- Q2Chemistry, Physicalrank 54 of 195 journals
Quartiles here rank journals of the same Web of Science category by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR quartiles.

Find the right journal for your paper
Is Applied Surface Science Advances right for your paper? Compare journals
Paste your title, keywords or abstract. We match it against 28,582 journal papers published by PhD researchers on ScholarsColab and show where the closest work appeared, with each journal’s indexing (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus, JCR 2024).
How it works: no AI or language model is used. Your words are matched against the titles of real published papers by our mentors; 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; “not found in our indexing lists” does not prove a journal is unindexed. Always check a journal’s scope and current indexing before submitting.
