Singapore-based Nano Today, a nanoscience and nanotechnology journal published by Elsevier, has received a record high impact factor of 18.432 in 2013, up from 17.689 in 2012, according to the Journal Citation Reports® published by Thomson Reuters last month. The scientific journal is one of the highest impact publications across nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science and chemistry.
Nano Today ranks 2nd among 73 journals in the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology category, 4th out of 251 journals in Materials Science (Multidisciplinary), and 5th out of 148 journals in Chemistry (Multidisciplinary). Nano Today is also the only Asia-based journal among the top 5 journals in these disciplines.
Nano Today is published by Elsevier and was launched in 2006 as a magazine. Through its unique mix of review articles, rapid communications, the latest research news, and information on key developments, Nano Today provides comprehensive coverage of this dynamic field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, highlighting its broad range of applications in biology, medicine, sensing, diagnostics, imaging, electronics, energy, environment, chemistry and catalysis. Its impact factor has been steadily increasing from 5.929 in 2007 to 18.432 in 2013, since successfully transitioning from a magazine to a journal format in 2009 under the editorial leadership of Professor Ying.
The journal, Elsevier and the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have also been organizing a biennial Nano Today conference series since 2009. The conference Page 2 of 4 has now become a major international forum for the exchange of research ideas and findings in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The last conference was held in December 2013 in Singapore with 450 participants, and the next conference will be held in Dubai on December 6-10, 2015 (www.nanotoday-conference.com).
