On June 28th, the latest Journal Citation Reports (JCR) were officially released. Following last year's surge in Impact Factors (IF), this year's journal Impact Factors have once again increased. In terms of attention, the three major global journals stand out: Nature has risen from 49.962 to 69.504; Science has increased from 47.728 to 63.714; Cell has also gone up from 41.584 to 66.85. In addition, domestic journals have seen a significant increase in their Impact Factors, from 3 to 35, showing rapid progress!
To facilitate better submissions of articles related to photochemistry and photocatalysis, our editor has carefully compiled the latest IF values of journals that have been applied for paper rewards since 2020. These journals all accept articles related to photochemistry and photocatalysis!
1. Top journals in the field of materials science have made significant breakthroughs, all jumping from 40+ to over 60+
2. Top journals with outstanding influence have also achieved new breakthroughs
3. Review journals' IF continues to rise
4. Nature's subsidiary journals have always been striving to catch up with the main journals
5. Domestic journals have consistently performed well, with Chinese Journal of Catalysis breaking through the IF 10 mark
It's worth noting that the Impact Factor is just one of many indicators used to evaluate journal quality. On the path to gaining wider international recognition and influence, domestic journals still have a long journey ahead! With the rise in IF values, we must also remind researchers that the rewards for research papers have also increased accordingly; for more details, see "Perfectlight Technology's 2022 Research Paper Reward Policy."
