SCOPUS

• 0.8 CiteScore 2023
  CiteScore acts as an indicator of the citation level of peer-reviewed materials, which is calculated as the ratio of the average number of citations to the number of published documents. Therewith, the publication window is equal to four years.
• 0.79Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2023
  Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
• 0.213 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2023
  SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
• Q3Quartile: Polymers and Plastics 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their SJR. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 23H-Index 2023
  A journal has an H index of h if it published h papers each of which has been cited in other journals at least h times. Calculations are based on Scopus.
