Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics

The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics was founded in 1990 and since then it has grown into a major peer-reviewed international journal. It publishes experimental papers on materials in modern electronics, optoelectronics and photonics, with a broad but in-depth coverage. The scope of the journal includes the synthesis, growth and processing of new materials (such as compounds and alloys), structural studies by various experimental techniques, characterization of microstructure, structure-property relationships, electrical, optical, dielectric and magnetic properties. The Journal presents materials-related papers in newly developing fields such as low-dimensional structures and devices, spintronic materials and structures, topological insulators, energy applications (e.g. energy harvesting and storage, optoelectronics, solar cells, photocatalysis, green photonics), solid-state ionics, thermoelectrics and phononics, materials for heterogeneous integrated circuit applications, new materials for memory/storage applications, glasses, glass-ceramics and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, organic semiconductors, conducting polymers, thick-film materials and new contact technologies, as well as materials used in established electronic and optoelectronic devices and circuits. Materials related papers are also accepted in the emerging field of quantum technologies, including electronic/spintronic/photonic and related materials systems for quantum entanglement applications, plasmonic materials and sensors, communications and metrology.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
