MELVILLE, N.Y., June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AIP
Publishing, a leading not-for-profit scholarly publisher in the
physical sciences, is pleased to announce that APL Photonics
has received its first Journal Impact Factor of 4.383. This places
APL Photonics in the first quartile of journals in the
category of Optics according to the 2019 Journal Citation Reports
released by Clarivate Analytics today.
An open-access, peer-reviewed journal, APL Photonics
launched in 2016 and has established itself as the leading platform
for fundamental and applied multidisciplinary research and
next-generation innovations anchored in the field. As its
impressive initial Journal Impact Factor rank suggests, researchers
have increasingly turned to it to publish significant research and
to access important developments in the broad photonics field.
"I'm delighted that the first Journal Impact Factor for APL
Photonics reflects the hard work and dedication of the
journal's editorial team, authors and reviewers, as well as the
rapid embrace of the journal by its community. We look forward
to continuing to publish breakthrough research that advances
photonics and related research areas," said the journal's
Editor-in-Chief Prof. Benjamin J.
Eggleton, Director of The University of
Sydney Nano Institute (Sydney
Nano) and co-Director of the NSW Smart Sensing Network
(NSSN) in Sydney, Australia.
The Journal Impact Factor, as published in the annual Journal
Citation Reports (Web of Science Group, 2019), measures a journal's
impact on its community through a calculation of article-level
citation activity and quality criteria, editorial rigor, and
publication best practices. It provides researchers with a metric
to assess a journal's credibility and stature, and to gauge the
visibility of its published articles.
