Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering materials science. It includes communications, reviews, and feature articles on topics in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, ceramics, metallurgy, and biomaterials. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 29.4.

History
The journal was established in 1988 as a supplement to the general chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie and remained part of that journal for the first eighteen months of its existence. Founder and editor-in-chief was Peter Goelitz (then editor of Angewandte Chemie). The current editor-in-chief is Jos Lenders.

Originally the journal appeared monthly; it switched to fifteen issues in 1997, eighteen issues in 1998, and twenty-four issues in 2000. In 2009, it started to publish weekly, with forty-eight issues per year. Since 2018, it publishes fifty-two issues per year.
