So much is happening at the Journal of Materials Science
The impact factor increased to  4.682 in June,  2022
up from 4.220 in
  2021
The 5-year value is now 4.128

2,026,752 downloads from the Springer Nature site in 2020 increased to 2,494,069 in 2021
and we're on track to increase that number by a similar number in 2022
The number of citations increased - up from 55,099 in 2019, to 63,029 in 2020, to 69,454 in 2021

The Journal of Materials Science changed to 48 issues per year starting in 2022. This change will help the journal continue its push for faster turnaround.
Another change: each month will feature the 'Cover of the Month' with an Editorial explaining why the Editor chose to highlight that paper.
The Cahn Prize for Best Paper will be announced in February and the Bonfield Prize for Best Review Paper will be announced in April.

Springer has merged with Nature to form a new publisher: Springer Nature
The new company publishes Nature, Scientific American, the Journal of Materials Science
and other leading journals
Judging for the  2017 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize is already underway
The winning paper will be selected by members of the Editorial Board from the monthly selections of the Editors. 
The Cahn Prize has been named in honor of the Journal’s founding editor, the late Professor Robert Wolfgang Cahn. This annual prize recognizes a truly exceptional original research paper published in the journal in a particular calendar year. The selection process follows that adopted for Sapphire Prize, which was awarded in 2011 to mark the Journal’s 45th anniversary. Each month the Editors select a paper published in that month's issues via a rigorous nomination and voting procedure. The winning paper is then selected from the twelve finalists by a separate panel of distinguished materials scientists. The authors of the winning paper will receive an award of $5,000.

The 2017 Cahn Finalists
O'Brien and Foiles 2016
The 2016 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize was awarded to C. J. O’Brien and S. M. Foiles of Sandia National Laboratories for their paper entitled "Exploration of the mechanisms of temperature-dependent grain boundary mobility: search for the common origin of ultrafast grain boundary motion". The paper examines the atomic-level motion mechanisms of the thermally activated boundaries reveals that each involves a complex shuffle, and at least one atom that changes the plane it resides on.

The 2015 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize was awarded to Bradley T. Richards, Hengbei Zhao and Haydn N.G. Wadley of the University of Virginia for their paper entitled "Structure, Composition, and defect control during plasma spray deposition of ytterbium silicate coatings". The paper concerned the important issue of how to protect ceramics that have applications in advanced, high efficiency, gas turbine engines.. 

The 2014 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize was awarded to Lucas R. Meza, and Julia R. Greer for their paper entitled "Mechanical characterization of hollow ceramic nanolattices". The paper demonstrated the capability to fabricate titanium nitride cellular ceramics and showed that these structures could withstand forces between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude greater than simple bulk titanium nitride. 

The 2013 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize was awarded to Maneesh Mishra and Izabela Szlufarska of the University of Wisconsin-Madison for their paper “Dislocation controlled wear in single crystal silicon carbide”. The research that earned this distinction helps explain deformation in small volumes to help improve the design and durability of nanoscale devices. 
                                                 Mishra, M. and Szlufarska, I., J Mater Sci (2013) 48(4): 1593–1603

The 2012 Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize was from October 2012. Room temperature fracture processes of a near-α titanium alloy following elevated temperature exposure by L. Pilchak (Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate), W. J. Porter (University of Dayton Research Institute), and R. John (Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate)
                                               Pilchak, L., Porter, W.J. and John, R., J Mater Sci (2012) 47:7235–7253
Each year, all of the twelve Finalists are available for free access on the Journal's web site.

read about the  Impact Factor
The impact factor depends on your subject. If impact factor is critical to you, you should publish in a chemistry or bio journal.
This list of important papers relating to the Impact Factor is offered as a guide for those who do not fully understand what this number is telling us.
For example, Glänzel and Moed (2002) concluded that the following IF values represented a similar impact:
   Engineering 1.12
   Mathematics 1.46
   An. Chemistry 3.00
   Solid-St. Physics 3.06
   Neurosciences 4.54
So, if your field is Chemistry or Physics your paper should have 3 times as many citations as a paper in Engineering.
