Polymer
The International Journal for the Science and Technology of Polymers
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.
The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years.

To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2016 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.

Description
Polymer is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing innovative and significant advances in Polymer Physics, Chemistry and Technology. We welcome submissions on polymer hybrids, nanocomposites, characterisation and self-assembly. Polymer also publishes work on the technological application of polymers in energy and optoelectronics.
The main scope is covered but not limited to the following core areas:
Polymer Materials
- Nanocomposites and hybrid nanomaterials
- Polymer blends, films, fibres, networks and porous materials
Physical Characterization
- Characterisation, modelling and simulation* of molecular and materials properties in bulk, solution, and thin films
Polymer Engineering
- Advanced multiscale processing methods
Polymer Synthesis, Modification and Self-assembly
- Including designer polymer architectures, mechanisms and kinetics, and supramolecular polymerization
Technological Applications
- Polymers for energy generation and storage
- Polymer membranes for separation technology
- Polymers for opto- and microelectronics
*Theory and simulation papers should include or reference previously published experimental results.
The scope of Polymer no longer includes the biomedical applications of polymers. We would strongly recommend that authors consider submitting these papers to our excellent sister title European Polymer Journal https://www.journals.elsevier.com/european-polymer-journal
Article Types and Submission
Polymer publishes the following article types: original research papers, review articles, featured articles, short communications and Research Insights.
