Materials Science, Characterization & Testing: Journal Rankings

Journal Rankings

TQCC Average citations Median citations H4-Index Number of Papers Impact Factor

(The TQCC is the top quartile citation count: if all publications of a journal are sorted by citation count in descending order, then the TQCC is the citation count of the publication residing at the end of the top quartile; for example, given 100 publications, the TQCC is the citation count of the 25th ranked paper. The data are based on CrossRef. The ranking can be re-used under a CC0-license.)
