Latest Impact Factors for KeAi journals
Published 23 June, 2025
We are delighted to bring you the latest impact factors* for our journals.
We would like to thank the journals' editorial teams, the reviewers, the authors and the readers who have contributed to the success of these journals. We look forward to continuing to work with all of you, taking the journals to the next level of excellence.
The impact factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal in the proceeding two years.
Highlights include:
- 83 KeAi journals received an Impact Factor (including 31SCIE journals, 51ESCI journals and 1 AHCI journal) compared with 61 titles last year. 15 journals received their first Impact Factor
- 4 SCIE journals ranked #1 in corresponding categories and 1 AHCI journal’s JCI index ranked #1
- 32 journals (39%) in top 10%, 60 journals (72%) in Q1, 74 journals (89%) in Q1+Q2
- 44 journals (53% of journals that have the data) have a positive annual growth
- Outstanding New Journals:
- 15 journals are newly accepted to ESCI, received their first IF this year
- 6 newly accepted journals (40%) are in top 10%
- 14 newly accepted journals (93%) are in Q1 + Q2
- We have created influential journals in many different fields:
- Covered 72 different WoS categories (vs 62 last year)
- Have journals in very small categories like MATERIALS SCIENCE, PAPER & WOOD and ENGINEERING, PETROLEUM with only 24 journals; ORNITHOLOGY with only 29 journals
