New Issues of the Journal appear Weekly
The impact factor is 3.5 in June, 2024 (down from 4.5 in 2023)
The 5-year value in 2024 is 4.1
with an immediacy index of 1.0
2,494,069 downloads from the Springer Nature site in 2021 increased to 4,350.235 in 2023
The number of citations to JMS was 63,029 in 2020, 69,454 in 2021 & 67,784 in 2022
The slight decrease reflects Clarivate's new dating method (when papers go online, not the issue date)

We have changed but....
STILL: No Page Limits, No Page Charges, Full Color (print and online) at no cost to the author The Journal of Materials Science publishes work without regard to page length—no page charges. Open Access is an option if you require it. The cost is independent of the length of the paper. Plus - of course - your paper is archival! It is archived, It will be available in 100 years from now! Sophie Primig from New South Wales, Yara Yingling from North Carolina State, Cătălin Croitoru from Brasov, David Balloy from Lille, and Joshua Tong from Clemson all joined us as new Editors in 2019-20.
Avinash Dongare from UConn joined us as a new Editor in 2018. In 2017 we were joined by 8 new Editors: Antonia Antoniou from Georgia Tech, Mark Bissett from Manchester U, Kyle Brinkman from Clemson U, Dale Huber from Sandia's CINT, Maude Jimenez from the U of Lille, Nate Mara who is leaving LANL's CINT and moving to the U of Minnesota, Corinne Packard from Colorado School of Mines, and Naiqin Zhao from Tianjin University. Read more about them using the SharedIt link http://rdcu.be/yaJ3 Maude and Naiqin are our first Editors from France and China, respectively. |

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 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)

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. The JournalSee the web site for information on the Journal of Materials Science Robert W. Cahn Best Paper Prize (the “Cahn Prize”).The Cahn Prize has been named in honor of the Journal’s founding editor, the late Professor Robert Wolfgang Cahn.
