Advanced Science Impact Factor

Advanced Science is Wiley's fully open-access interdisciplinary journal.

Its published scope spans fundamental and applied work in materials science,

chemistry, physics, engineering, medical and life sciences, earth and

environmental sciences, and social sciences and humanities. The exact journal

identifier is ISSN 2198-3844.

This query can collide with the Wiley Advanced portfolio. A value for

Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, **Advanced Energy

Materials, Advanced Healthcare Materials, or Small Science** is not an

Advanced Science value. The title, ISSN, metric year, and source should agree.

The current Wiley profile supports the 2025 JIF of 14.1, 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.

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.

The 14.1 JIF answers a narrow citation-metric question. The 18.2 CiteScore is

an Elsevier Scopus-derived metric displayed by Wiley, while the 20% acceptance

rate and nine-day initial-decision median describe journal-level editorial

outcomes. Each can provide context, but none establishes whether a particular

paper has the evidence, reach, or framing that Advanced Science requires.

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 20% rate and nine-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.

Portfolio substitution occurs when a reader finds a high citation number

for an Advanced-family title and assigns it to Advanced Science. The practical

check is brief: match the full title, the Adv. Sci. abbreviation, ISSN

2198-3844, 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 platform with limited validation,

a narrow chemistry result, or a life-sciences paper without a credible

cross-field contribution can be a poor fit despite the journal's metric.

Advanced Science is fully open access, which means published work is available

to readers without a subscription. It does not erase editorial selectivity,

remove the need for a funding plan, or make every interdisciplinary label

credible. The manuscript still has to make a substantive contribution for the

readers the journal serves.

The useful submission question is therefore not whether 14.1 is high enough.

It is whether the work makes a clear, evidence-backed advance that travels

across its relevant communities. A single-subfield materials result may be

clearer in a specialist journal; a contribution joining materials, chemistry,

physics, engineering, or life sciences may have a more natural Advanced Science

reader case. That is a scope judgment, not a JIF consequence.

We matched the current Wiley journal profile, official overview, exact title,

ISSN, and publisher-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.

Searchers often reach a metric result when they need a narrow factual answer,

then encounter several numbers and similarly named Wiley journals. This page

helps make 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. The cited Wiley sources are 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.

The page owns only advanced science impact factor. It deliberately routes

submission preparation to the existing guide and adjacent-journal selection to

the comparison page below. That separation keeps a metric lookup concise while

letting each related page answer one reader job rather than competing for the

same query.

The specific named failure pattern documented here is portfolio

substitution: an otherwise credible value is copied from another Wiley Advanced

title. In practice, this page helps before a metric is cited by asking the

reader to compare each of the title, abbreviation, ISSN, metric year, and

source. That short audit is more useful than a longer list of unsourced

historic values because it can be repeated against the publisher record.

For a formal citation, retain the journal title, metric name, metric year, and

source together: "Advanced Science's 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 14.1,

according to Wiley." That avoids turning a 2025 citation metric into a 2026

impact factor or an unsupported judgment of a paper's quality.

• Match Advanced Science, Adv. Sci., and ISSN 2198-3844.
• Describe 14.1 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 the current Wiley scope and author guidance for a submission decision.

For the manuscript-level question, use the Advanced Science submission guide and an interdisciplinary manuscript readiness check. For adjacent venue decisions, see Advanced Materials versus Advanced Functional Materials.
