Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 1990–present, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 5.9.
Nanotechnology is Q1 in Mechanical Engineering (rank 174 of 740), Q2 in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (rank 273 of 1030) and Q2 in Mechanics of Materials (rank 117 of 408), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 6 subject areas in all.
Nanotechnology 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 5.9, which places it in quartile Q1 at the 76th percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.526, quartile Q2, with an H-index of 241.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$3,325 for open access (source: OpenAlex). Many journals also publish by the subscription route at no cost to the author, so confirm on the journal's own website.

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 99 research articles (2026), authors are most often from China (40.9%), United States (8.8%) and India (7.7%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 35 retracted papers are recorded (1.4 per 1,000 papers). The Problematic Paper Screener flags 3 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.
