Yes — actively indexed in Scopus, coverage 2006–present, best quartile Q1, CiteScore 57.8.
Nature Nanotechnology is Q1 in Condensed Matter Physics (rank 1 of 446), Q1 in Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics (rank 1 of 243) and Q1 in Materials Science (all) (rank 2 of 475), by CiteScore 2025. It is ranked in 6 subject areas in all.
Nature 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 57.8, which places it in quartile Q1 at the 99th percentile of its subject. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 13.056, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 467.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$12,690 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.

Yes — indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
No — it is not registered as an open-access journal in DOAJ or Scopus.
Nature Nanotechnology has an h-index of 504 and a 2-year mean of 26.88 citations per paper (OpenAlex). Its Scopus CiteScore is 57.8, quartile Q1. On 2-year citations it ranks #2 of 425 Scopus journals in Condensed Matter Physics.
Nature Nanotechnology published 263 papers in 2025; its busiest recent year was 2018 with 309. 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 92 research articles (2026), authors are most often from China (30%), United States (27%) and Germany (4.9%).
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. 2 retracted papers are recorded (0.3 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.
