Aims & Scope

Nanotechnology, Science and Applications is an international, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that focuses on the science of nanotechnology in a wide range of industrial and academic applications. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, and application studies across all sectors, including engineering, optics, biomedicine, cosmetics, textiles, resource sustainability and science. Applied research into nanomaterials, particles, nanostructures and fabrication, diagnostics and analytics, drug delivery and toxicology constitute the primary direction of the journal. Nanotechnology, Science and Applications will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.

Frequently asked questions about Nanotechnology, Science and Applications

Is Nanotechnology, Science and Applications a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Nanotechnology, Science and Applications: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Nanotechnology, Science and Applications?

Nanotechnology, Science and Applications is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 5.00.
