See scope, selectivity, submission context, and what editors actually want before you decide whether the journal is realistic.
Quick answer: Advanced Materials Interfaces has a 2025 Journal Impact Factor (JIF) of 4.5. Wiley's current journal profile also lists a CiteScore of 9.6, 57% acceptance rate, median 25 days from submission to first decision, open-access publishing, and ISSN 2196-7350. Cite 4.5 as the 2025 JIF released in 2026, and do not use a journal metric as evidence that an individual materials or interface-science manuscript fits the journal.

What is the Advanced Materials Interfaces impact factor at a glance?
Metric or identifier | Current value | Source boundary |
|---|---|---|
Journal Impact Factor | 4.5 (2025 JIF) | Official Wiley profile |
CiteScore | 9.6 | Official Wiley profile |
Acceptance rate | 57% | Official Wiley profile; journal aggregate, not an individual forecast |
Submission to first decision | Median 25 days | Official Wiley profile; not a peer-review or acceptance promise |
Publishing model | Open access | Official Wiley profile |
Online and print ISSN | 2196-7350 | Official Wiley profile |
Publisher | Wiley-VCH GmbH | Official Wiley profile |
The 4.5 JIF is a journal-level, two-year citation-window measure. The
9.6 CiteScore, acceptance rate, and decision median use different
underlying measures. They should not be combined into a single quality score
or used to rank individual authors, papers, laboratories, or materials
subfields.
Is this the exact Wiley journal record?
Advanced Materials Interfaces is an open-access Wiley journal focused on
functional interfaces, surfaces, and their applications. Wiley describes its
scope as interdisciplinary across physics, chemistry, materials science,
biotechnology, and life sciences. The exact journal identifier is **ISSN
2196-7350**.
This query can collide with similarly named Wiley titles. A value for
Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, **Advanced
Science, Advanced Energy Materials, or Small Methods** is not an
Advanced Materials Interfaces value. The full title, ISSN, metric year, and
source should agree before the number is cited.
Verify before citing | Match | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Exact title | Advanced Materials Interfaces | Separates it from the Wiley Advanced portfolio |
Standard abbreviation | Adv. Mater. Interfaces | Helps distinguish records and references |
Identifier | ISSN 2196-7350 | Resolves portfolio and directory collisions |
Metric year | 2025 | Identifies the citation period for the JIF |
Source | Current Wiley journal profile | Anchors the lookup to the publisher display |
Impact factor trend verification guardrail
The current Wiley profile supports the 2025 JIF of 4.5, but the primary
record checked for this page does not publish a complete, year-by-year JIF
table. We therefore do not present a multi-year chart, a change from a prior
year, or a forecast. A historical value copied from an unsourced directory can
look plausible while using a different title, data year, or metric method.
Metric data year | JIF supported by the current primary record | What can be claimed |
|---|---|---|
2025 | 4.5 | Current Wiley-displayed JIF only |
The absence of a verified series matters more than a decorative chart. A
reader who needs an audited historical comparison should use a source that
identifies each JIF data year and its provenance, then label each point by
year. The current exact-record lookup remains useful, but it does not prove
that the metric went up, down, or stayed constant relative to an earlier year.
How should the Wiley metrics be read?
The 4.5 JIF answers a narrow citation-metric question. The 9.6 CiteScore is a
Scopus-derived metric displayed by Wiley, while the 57% acceptance rate and
25-day initial-decision median describe journal-level editorial outcomes. Each
can provide context, but none establishes whether a particular interface,
surface, chemistry, or biomaterials paper has the evidence and fit the journal
requires.
Decision | Better evidence than a metric alone | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Is this the intended journal? | Exact title, abbreviation, and ISSN | Stops Wiley-portfolio substitution |
Is the metric current? | Current Wiley profile and stated metric year | Keeps data and release period aligned |
Does the paper fit? | Interface focus, contribution, evidence, and readers | Citation averages cannot decide editorial fit |
Is a deadline feasible? | Current workflow plus the actual deadline | A median first decision is not publication time |
Is the work ready? | Claims, controls, characterization, data, and limitations | Metrics cannot validate a manuscript |
What the 4.5 JIF does not establish
The JIF does not establish an acceptance rate for one author, a required
citation count, a guaranteed editorial outcome, an article processing charge,
or a recommendation to submit. Wiley's displayed 57% rate and 25-day median
are aggregates. A desk decision can be faster or slower, and a manuscript sent
for review can require revision, additional evidence, or a different route.
For institutional reporting, follow the metric source and year required by the
institution. This page records the current publisher display and exact journal
identity; it is not a licensed Journal Citation Reports export or a substitute
for a local evaluation policy.
Named failure patterns: portfolio substitution and metric relabeling
Portfolio substitution occurs when a reader finds a citation number for
another Wiley Advanced-family title and assigns it to Advanced Materials
Interfaces. Match the full title, abbreviation, ISSN 2196-7350, metric year,
and Wiley source before citing the number.
Metric relabeling occurs when CiteScore is called an impact factor, or when
an acceptance rate is presented as a quality score. Wiley displays several
metrics together because they answer different questions. State the requested
metric by name and retain its data year.
Metric-to-manuscript inference occurs when a journal average becomes a
claim about a specific article. A materials result without a meaningful
interface or surface question, sufficient characterization, or a clear
application case can be a poor fit despite the journal's metric.
What does open access change, and what does it not change?
Advanced Materials Interfaces is open access, which means published work is
available to readers without a subscription. It does not erase editorial
selection, remove the need for a funding plan, or make every materials-science
label a fit. The manuscript still has to make a substantive, evidence-backed
contribution for the journal's interface and surface readers.
The useful submission question is therefore not whether 4.5 is high enough.
It is whether the work makes a clear advance in an interfacial process,
functional interface, or surface application, supported by the controls and
characterization needed for its claim. That is a scope and evidence judgment,
not a JIF consequence.
How did we verify this record?
We matched the current Wiley journal profile, exact title, ISSN, publisher,
and displayed metric table on July 14, 2026. The source method is deliberately
narrow: current values come from Wiley, and the page names the distinct methods
behind JIF and CiteScore rather than treating all visible numbers as
interchangeable. It does not construct a historic JIF series because the
current primary record checked here does not publish a complete year-by-year
table.
Why this exact-record page exists
Searchers often reach a metric result when they need a narrow factual answer,
then encounter several numbers and similarly named Wiley journals. This page
makes that lookup auditable: it identifies the target journal, retains the
metric year, names the publisher record, separates companion metrics, and
states the facts the record cannot establish. Wiley is the authority for
current journal data; Manusights supplies the record-matching and decision
boundary so a metric lookup is not silently converted into submission advice
or a claim about one paper.
This page was created by the Manusights editorial team from a current
publisher-record check for readers who need to verify a metric before using
it. It owns only the Advanced Materials Interfaces impact factor lookup. It
does not claim to own submission preparation, fees, or other Advanced-family
titles. That separation keeps the metric lookup focused and avoids competing
with a different page for a different reader job.
This page helps when the decision is whether a displayed number is the current
metric for this exact journal, rather than a number borrowed from another
Wiley title or a different metric system.
For a formal citation, retain the journal title, metric name, metric year, and
source together: "Advanced Materials Interfaces' 2025 Journal Impact Factor is
4.5, according to Wiley." That avoids turning a 2025 citation metric into a
2026 impact factor or an unsupported judgment of a paper's quality.
What should authors verify before citing the metric?
- Match Advanced Materials Interfaces, Adv. Mater. Interfaces, and ISSN 2196-7350.
- Describe 4.5 as a 2025 JIF, not a 2026 citation-year value.
- Do not substitute CiteScore, acceptance rate, or first-decision median for the JIF.
- Keep journal-level median timing separate from a submission or publication promise.
- Use current Wiley scope and author guidance for a submission decision.
For a manuscript-level question, use an interdisciplinary manuscript readiness check. For adjacent venue decisions, compare the exact scope and current publisher records before moving a metric across titles. The adjacent Advanced Materials journal record, Advanced Functional Materials journal record, and Applied Surface Science journal record are separate records, not substitutes for this journal's JIF.
Submit If
- You need a current, exact-title Wiley metric lookup with a primary-source boundary.
- You need to distinguish the 2025 JIF from Wiley's CiteScore, acceptance, and timing displays.
- You have already assessed the work against the journal's current scope and reader community.
Think Twice If
- The target is another Wiley Advanced-family journal.
- A journal-level metric is being used to forecast acceptance, citations, or timeline for one paper.
- A complete historical JIF series, current fee, or category ranking is needed but is not established by the source used here.
