The most recent citation data released by Thomson ISI reveal another rise in the Impact Factor for Journal of Materials Chemistry.

It now stands at its highest ever value of 4.65, an increase of over 7% compared to last year.

This impressive new Impact Factor reinforces Journal of Materials Chemistry's position as one of the best journals for publishing urgent new work of the highest quality. In combination with the fast times to publication, which are significantly faster than others in the field, this demonstrates that Journal of Materials Chemistry is the home for exciting new research in the field of materials chemistry.

The Impact Factor is a measure of the number of times an "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor for 2008 is calculated from the total number of citations given in 2008 to articles published in 2006 and 2007, divided by the number of articles published in 2006 and 2007.
