Journal of Materials Chemistry C Impact Factor

Journal of Materials Chemistry C is an RSC journal for materials with

applications in optical, magnetic, and electronic devices. It is not *Journal

of Materials Chemistry A*, which focuses on energy and sustainability, or

Journal of Materials Chemistry B, which focuses on biology and medicine.

The current RSC record lists eISSN 2050-7534.

The checked primary record supports the 2025 JIF of 5.1, but it does not

provide a complete annual JIF series for an audited chart. This page therefore

does not calculate a year-over-year change, present a multi-year trend, or

forecast a future value. A visible historical number can be correct for a

different data year while still being wrong for a current lookup.

For a grant, promotion, institutional report, or formal ranking comparison,

verify the exact annual row in licensed Journal Citation Reports. The exact

public lookup is useful, but it does not establish whether the JIF rose, fell,

or predicts citations for an individual article.

The JIF answers a citation-metric question. The 17-day and 31-day medians

describe prior editorial timing distributions. RSC presents the journal’s

scope separately because a materials result should be routed by intended

application, not by a citation number alone. A study with an energy or

sustainability application may belong with Journal of Materials Chemistry A;

a biology or medicine application may belong with Journal of Materials

Chemistry B.

The JIF does not establish an acceptance probability for one author, a required

citation count, a guaranteed editorial decision, an article processing charge,

or a recommendation to submit. The decision-time medians are journal-level

aggregates. A manuscript can be screened faster or slower, reviewed, revised,

or declined for reasons the metric does not capture.

Clarivate describes the JIF as a journal-level ratio involving citations and

citable items across the relevant two-year window. It should not be used as a

proxy for the quality of one paper, researcher, or research group. Follow the

metric source and institutional policy required for formal evaluation.

Application family asserted but not demonstrated. The RSC scope

distinguishes C by optical, magnetic, and electronic-device applications. A

materials result should make the intended device or functional application

visible, rather than leaving it as a general characterization claim.

Performance claim without a credible comparison. A device-related result

needs a relevant comparator, test conditions, uncertainty or variation where

appropriate, and a limit on what the reported measurement transfers to. A

single best value does not by itself establish a practical advance.

Speed metric treated as a manuscript forecast. The reported 17-day and

31-day medians describe past journal outcomes. They do not show that a

submission will pass screening, receive external review, or reach a decision

by a particular date.

These are Manusights pre-submission checks derived from the RSC’s published

scope, not claims about confidential editorial practice. [Run a Journal of

Materials Chemistry C submission readiness check](/ai-review?target_journal=Journal%20of%20Materials%20Chemistry%20C&source_blog=journal-of-materials-chemistry-c-impact-factor&primary_concern=journal_fit)

before using the metric to justify a venue decision.

This page was created by the Manusights editorial team after a current

publisher-record check. This page helps when the decision is whether a visible

number is the current metric for the C journal, rather than a cached value or

a metric belonging to the A or B title.

It owns only the Journal of Materials Chemistry C impact-factor lookup. It

does not own journal selection, submission mechanics, fees, or the neighboring

A and B journals. That separation keeps the first screen metric-first and

avoids competing with a different reader job.

For formal citation, retain the full title, metric name, year, and source:

"Journal of Materials Chemistry C’s 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.1,

according to the Royal Society of Chemistry."

• Match Journal of Materials Chemistry C and eISSN 2050-7534.
• Describe 5.1 as a 2025 JIF, not a 2026 citation-year value.
• Prefer the current RSC record over an older cached 5.2 display.
• Do not substitute decision-time medians for the JIF.
• Verify formal ranks, percentiles, historical changes, and funding decisions in JCR and current RSC guidance.

For adjacent reading, see the Journal of Materials Chemistry A record, Journal of Materials Chemistry C submission guide, and Journal of Applied Physics journal record, then use an interdisciplinary manuscript readiness check. These are separate resources and do not replace this exact metric lookup.
