High Impact of Advanced Science

Exactly one year ago we celebrated the first Journal Impact Factor of Advanced Science with the publication of an exclusive Review Special Issue. This year, there is again reason to celebrate: we are happy to announce that the impact factor of Advanced Science has increased by more than 50% to a value of 9.034 (Journal Citation Reports, Clarivate Analytics, 2017). That is an amazing result for this young journal and clearly an achievement of the strong international editorial team in combination with an excellent advisory board. Executive advisory board member Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard‐MIT, USA) recently stated: “Advanced Science has become a premier journal that publishes a broad spectrum of scientific breakthroughs. Thus the journal fits an important need given that such advances are increasingly interdisciplinary.
