“Cites per paper” is a two-year cited-by rate computed from OpenAlex. It is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric (how the two differ). Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline. What the other figures mean: journal quartile, SJR, h-index and article processing charge.

The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” means we hold no rank consistent with that quartile. The document count is what Scopus indexed that year, which can be lower than a journal's full output. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).
Applied Nanoscience is Q2 in 2 of its 6 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics: Q2, #115 of 229), with SJR 0.425 (Scimago) and an h-index of 112 (OpenAlex). Listed in Scopus, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Applied Nanoscience a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Applied Nanoscience. That is not a guarantee of quality — it means the venue is not on Beall's archive (frozen since 2017) and does not match our name-pattern heuristic. It is listed in Scopus, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Applied Nanoscience indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Applied Nanoscience appears in: Scopus, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Applied Nanoscience?
Papers in Applied Nanoscience are cited about 2.4 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q2, with an h-index of 112. Those are the open equivalents: the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor is a proprietary metric we neither compute nor license, so we show the two-year citation rate and Scimago quartile instead — they answer the same question of how heavily the journal is cited. A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
What Scimago quartile is Applied Nanoscience (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Applied Nanoscience is Q2 in 2 of its 6 subject categories, Q3 in 3 and Q4 in 1. By category: Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics: Q2, #115 of 229; Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Q2, #387 of 811; Physical and Theoretical Chemistry: Q3, #105 of 191; Biotechnology: Q3, #194 of 320; Materials Science (miscellaneous): Q3, #371 of 700; Cell Biology: Q4, #253 of 297. Its best category quartile is Q2. Quartiles split the journals in a subject category into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Applied Nanoscience is cited about 2.4 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 112.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Applied Nanoscience?
The Web of Science quartile comes from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a proprietary product we neither license nor compute — so we cannot state a JCR quartile for Applied Nanoscience. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q2 in Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics and 1 other category, derived from Scopus citation data. Because JCR ranks against Web of Science and Scimago against Scopus, the two can differ, so check Clarivate's site directly if you need the JCR quartile specifically.
Is Applied Nanoscience open access?
Our index records its access status as "hybrid". Where this is derived from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic, so confirm on the journal's own site — particularly if an article processing charge matters to you.
