✦ Synopsis

The simplest measure of the quality of a scientific journal is how frequently its papers are cited, i.e., its Impact Factor (IF). [1] According to the latest compilation of IFs, Advanced Materials remains the most highly cited publication in materials science. Its IF of 5.415 is almost 10 % higher than last year (see Table 1).
