What is the impact factor of Journal of Materials Science?
The impact factor is a figure Clarivate licenses, so it is not shown here. Its open counterpart is the 2-year mean citedness OpenAlex holds for Journal of Materials Science: 4.11, the mean number of citations received by the journal's papers of the last two years. That ranks Journal of Materials Science #2,492 of 18,122 journals, in the top 14%. The two figures follow the same idea on different records, so they are not equal.
What is the h-index of Journal of Materials Science?
OpenAlex gives Journal of Materials Science an h-index of 309: 309 of its papers have each been cited at least 309 times. That ranks #475 of 18,122 journals.

How these figures are made
Every figure is from OpenAlex's record of this journal, snapshot of 2026-10-14. The 2-year mean citedness is not Clarivate's impact factor: it counts the citations OpenAlex has recorded, so it differs from the licensed figure. Ranks are among the 18,122 journals with at least 1,000 works in OpenAlex and a record in 2025 or later that pass checks for record errors. Method and limits.
