Impact factor of Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate; the value above is how often its recent papers are cited.
Quartile of Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing
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). Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing is not listed in JCR 2024, so it has no JCR quartile. 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.

02Review time
Review time of Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing published between Mar 2025 and Oct 2026 were accepted within 98 days of submission, and the middle half took between 72 and 154 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.

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.
10Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long is the review time of Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing?
Based on 89 research articles Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing published from Mar 2025 to Oct 2026, the median time from submission to acceptance was 98 days, and half of them were accepted between 72 and 154 days. After acceptance, papers appeared online after a median of 12 days. Source: received and accepted dates deposited by the publisher in Crossref, retrieved October 2026. Individual papers can take longer, especially with major revisions.
What is the impact factor of Lasers in Manufacturing and Materials Processing?
