高分子领域期刊最新 IF点评
第3数字列为if。
主要趋势：除综合类期刊外，高分子专业领域共有3.0以上杂志15份，其中两份综述。13个研究性论文杂志。
第一集团：大分子：虽然与其它杂志if差异不大，增设acs macro letter之后，if可能进一步涨高，是毫无悬念的领域标杆和leader。
第二集团：polymer chemistry, biomacromolecules, macromolecular rapid communication, J MEMBRANE SCI, SOFT MATTER。注：4.0已经替代3.0成为划分第二集团杂志的准线。可看出作者对 acs, rsc, wiley等专业协会旗下期刊更为亲睐，对polymer , JPS等老牌杂志提出明显挑战，竞争掉了很大一部分优秀的稿源。Polymer chemistry审稿速度是亮点，大赞。Jms持续上涨的if表明高分子膜发展势头良好，从以前的工程类杂志，发展为了更复合，更多高分子特点，更注重基础研究和材料开发的杂志。Soft matter在增加文章数量。以后if可以在5。0左右。ACS macro看好，以后if和质量肯定都在第二集团。
第三集团：polymer, jps, jpcb等。这几个杂志之前都是领域内老牌杂志，在第二集团口碑很好，如今均遭到if滑铁卢。如if不能及时上涨，将难以翻身。如jpsa，其编辑队伍水平几乎是业内最顶尖的。可惜if。。。。
其他杂志，不做评论。

Polymer今年降的有点多。诶。 J MEMBRANE SCI 影响因子虚高，是近几年fuel cell膜推上去的，其大部分高分子方面的论文质量低于Polymer。
Polymer审稿周期长是个问题。 : Originally posted by 71429 at
J MEMBRANE SCI 影响因子虚高，是近几年fuel cell膜推上去的，其大部分高分子方面的论文质量低于Polymer。
Polymer审稿周期长是个问题。 有一定道理。不过这样说的话，am, acs nano都是关注热点材料，也有虚高之嫌。只要不是过度自引，都不是太大问题。
的确，是不太能从高分子的角度去评价jms这个杂志，从基础研究的角度，其中有些高分子方向的文章确实水平欠深入。不过，膜科学正在上涨的趋势是肯定的，越来越多的高分子主流学者也开始注意到膜科学的重要性，这很重要，代表了发展方向。而且，jms特色鲜明，是膜科学专业领域no. 1，这是其它杂志无法替代的。
每个杂志的下降必然有其原因，就polymer而言，最主要的威胁是其稿源目前排在polymer chemistry, biomacromolecules, macromolecular rapid communication, soft matter之后。正在丧失特色。 可怜的JPS-part a和polymer！期待你们IF逆转~加油啊！ : Originally posted by pjstang at

有些球星是媒体觉得厉害，但是球员不觉得厉害，比如斯托克顿
有些是球员觉得很厉害，但是媒体觉得不那么厉害，比如皮蓬
有些是媒体，球员都觉得很厉害，比如乔丹。
杂志也是这样，角度不一样，结论也有差距，大分子是业界乔丹啊。。 ding yi xia :work: JMS水文太多，题材也千篇一律，看多了很没意思。polymer有的文章还行，但编辑比较偏执。

soft mater和biomacromolecules感觉水平差不多，ACS和RSC的杂志品位还是比较高的。 从高分子的角度，JMS上高分子类的文章确实有些不深入，重复性的工作。不过，人家关键是有特色，别的杂志难题替代。反观真正高分子领域内的几个杂志，彼此都是可以互相替代的，形成十分明显的正面竞争。此消彼涨，既然有macromolecules这类认可度极高的杂志，也必须有一些牺牲品。 :arm:& &谢谢楼主，总结的真好

Dr. Jonathan Barnes
Postdoctal Scientist
I was born and raised in Louisville, KY. I obtained my BS/MS degrees from the University of Kentucky under the tutelage of Robert Grossman. After graduation, I worked for a biotech company in Los Angeles - Synedgen,Inc. - developing novel antimicrobial derivatives of chitosan and biocompatible, hemostatic foams for the US military. Heading back to graduate school, I obtained my PhD at Northwestern University (September 2010 - February 2014) under the supervision of Sir Fraser Stoddart where my research primarily revolved around the investigation of viologen molecular recognition in the form of synthetic molecular receptors and radical-based integrated materials, in addition to organic-inorganic nanoparticle-based drug release systems. I am now a Life Sciences Research Foundation postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Jeremiah Johnson at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I am excited to be able to carry out research in the areas of polymer science and drug delivery. Chemistry aside, I love watching movies, reading, playing basketball, and exploring Boston with my wife and son. Also, I am an avid Lakers and UK basketball fan. Go CATS!

Kevin Erazo
I was born in Ecuador, but moved to Union City, NJ (right next to NYC!) at the age of 12 and have lived there since 2005. I’m currently studying chemistry and biology. In the Johnson lab I’m combining both chemistry and biology to make all sorts of materials, mainly hydrogels: these things are cool. But when I’m not in lab (or class or doing homework), I like to spend my time either watching popular TV shows, listening to music, or reading high fantasy.
Graduate Student
I was raised in Ningbo, a beautiful costal city in China. I received my B.S. in Chemical Biology from Tsinghua University (Beijing, China). In my undergraduate education, I worked in Prof. Huaping Xu’s lab synthesizing tellurium-containing polymers as drug-delivery vehicles (Believe it or not, they are actually quite bio-compatible!). In 2013, I took a summer research position in Prof. Steve Granick’s lab at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, where I was trained as a polymer physicist and finally fell in love with polymer physics. In the Johnson group, I’m excited to explore uncharted territory at the interface between hydrogel chemistry, gelation physics, and even cell migration. Let’s wish me good luck.
Gihan Hewage
Graduate Student
Gihan was born in San Jose, CA but moved to the small town of East Lyme, CT at an early age. In an attempt to get away from cold New England winters, he attended Duke University in Durham, NC (obligatory Duke basketball shout out goes here), where he received a B.S. in chemistry with minors in biology and French. While at Duke, he worked in the lab of Professor Stephen L. Craig. There, he studied mechanochemistry, initially by synthesizing force reactive molecules and later designing & constructing active materials with latent chemomechanical functionality. When deciding what his life would entail following his graduation from Duke, Gihan realized that he missed frigid temperatures and Dunkin Donuts and chose to return to New England to continue his studies at MIT. Now, as a member of the Johnson group, he is excited to synthesize polymers for a variety of applications. In his spare time, Gihan enjoys playing tennis, reading French poetry, and writing short (auto)biographies.

Alex Zhukhovitskiy
Graduate Student
When I was 11, I moved from my hometown Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine to a suburb
of Chicago. As an undergraduate at Northwestern University, I completed the
Integrated Science Program, and studied mathematics and chemistry. Since my
first taste of chemistry research in Tobin Marks’s group and throughout my
work in SonBinh Nguyen’s group at NU I have been drawn to problems that
were at the interface of materials science and organic chemistry. In the Johnson
group, my research continues to be interdisciplinary, encompassing organic and
organometallic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and surface science. When not doing
chemistry, I enjoy playing guitar, soccer, and exploring Boston with my wife.
