2007 Impact Factor
(Published in 2008)

2.000

We are very pleased to announce that Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications has received it's first impact factor - an impressive 2.000*! PNFA is currently abstracted and indexed by Thomson Scientific ISI Web of Knowledge.

Aims and Scope
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonic crystals and photonic band gaps. The Journal will help shed light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components. The Journal features mainly original research work in experiment, theory and applications...

*The Journal Citation Reports® provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.
