Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2005–present, best quartile Q3, CiteScore 2.3.
Materials Research is Q3 in Mechanical Engineering (rank 422 of 740), Q3 in Mechanics of Materials (rank 254 of 408) and Q3 in Materials Science (all) (rank 318 of 475), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 4 subject areas in all.
Materials Research is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, so it may have a Journal Impact Factor in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports. JCR is paid, so check it for the current value. The closest free measure is its Scopus CiteScore 2.3, which places it in quartile Q3 at the 43rd percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.292, quartile Q3, with an H-index of 79.
Materials Research is published by Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos. Its print ISSN is 1516-1439 and its online ISSN is 1980-5373.
Yes — indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
Yes — it is an open-access journal, listed in DOAJ.
Materials Research has an h-index of 94 and a 2-year mean of 1.24 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 2.3, quartile Q3. On 2-year citations it ranks #384 of 641 Scopus journals in Mechanical Engineering.
Materials Research published 246 papers in 2025; its busiest recent year was 2017 with 351. 2026* is the year so far.
h-index, i10-index and 2-year mean citedness are open, licence-clear metrics from OpenAlex — not a proprietary impact factor. The subject rank counts only journals that OpenAlex has a figure for; it is not a Scopus or Clarivate ranking. Updated 2026-10-14.
In its latest 96 research articles (2025–2026), authors are most often from Brazil (67.2%), China (10.4%) and India (7.3%). More than half of recent authorship comes from one country.
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 2 retracted papers are recorded (0.5 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags none of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
Retractions from OpenAlex; flags from the Problematic Paper Screener (Cabanac, Labbé & Magazinov, CC BY), 2026-09-21 export. A flag marks a paper for a closer look; it is not a finding against the journal.
Index data is curated from public sources (Scopus, Web of Science, ABDC, FT50, UT Dallas, DOAJ). CiteScore and quartiles reflect the latest available Scopus release. Always verify a journal's current status on its official source before submitting.
