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.

Last reviewed: July 14, 2026. Evidence basis: the current Wiley Advanced Materials Interfaces journal 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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Advanced Materials Interfaces has a current 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 4.5 on its official Wiley journal profile. Cite it as a 2025 JIF released in 2026, not as a 2026 citation-year value.

Yes. Wiley describes Advanced Materials Interfaces as an open-access journal.

The current Wiley profile lists a CiteScore of 9.6, a 57% acceptance rate, and a median of 25 days from submission to first decision. These are separate measures, not substitutes for the JIF.

Advanced Materials Interfaces uses online and print ISSN 2196-7350. Check the exact title and ISSN before applying a metric from the Wiley Advanced portfolio.

No. The JIF is a journal-level citation metric. Manuscript fit depends on the work's interface focus, evidence, audience, and current editorial criteria.
