Nanotechnology: impact and ranking

Nanotechnology has a 2-year mean citedness of 3.42 in OpenAlex, which ranks #3,350 of 18,122 journals, and an h-index of 251. This is the open counterpart of the impact factor, not Clarivate's figure. All journals.

What is the impact factor of Nanotechnology?

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 Nanotechnology: 3.42, the mean number of citations received by the journal's papers of the last two years. That ranks Nanotechnology #3,350 of 18,122 journals, in the top 18%. The two figures follow the same idea on different records, so they are not equal.

What is the h-index of Nanotechnology?

OpenAlex gives Nanotechnology an h-index of 251: 251 of its papers have each been cited at least 251 times. That ranks #835 of 18,122 journals.

How much does Nanotechnology publish?

OpenAlex records 25,031 works in Nanotechnology from 1962 to 2026, cited 830,819 times in all, 33.2 citations per work. By total citations it ranks #471 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.
