Journals listed in Web of Science and JCR receive many submissions and desk reject a large share. A section-by-section audit by a PhD reviewer in your area shows what to fix first.
Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Science China Technological Sciences (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Science China Technological Sciences 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
- Engineering, Multidisciplinaryrank 16 of 200 journals
- Materials Science, Multidisciplinaryrank 147 of 489 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 Science China Technological Sciences
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). Science China Technological Sciences 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$3,090.
02Review time
Review time of Science China Technological Sciences
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 Science China Technological Sciences published between Apr 2026 and Oct 2026 were accepted within 112 days of submission, and the middle half took between 89 and 149 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.
In Materials Science, Multidisciplinary, Science China Technological Sciences ranks 92 of 146 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Materials Science, Multidisciplinary →

Retractions and research integrity at Science China Technological Sciences
Retractions per year
Most common reasons (a retraction can have several):
Science China Technological Sciences has 6 retracted papers in the Retraction Watch database, the latest in Aug 2022. A retraction count is not a verdict on a journal: large journals publish more and journals that investigate actively retract more. The trend and the reasons tell you more than the number. Retractions for paper mills or compromised peer review usually come in batches after an investigation; check whether they are recent before you decide.

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.
