Graphical RSS feeds for Wiley materials science journals

Last week Wiley launched its new online journal and books platform, Wiley Online Library, which replaces Wiley InterScience.

One of the best new features of Wiley Online Library for those of us who use RSS readers to keep up with journal publications is graphical RSS feeds. Finally, you can see the image along with the table of contents text and, for full papers, the abstract.

(If you’ve never used an RSS reader, think of it as an inbox for the internet. Instead of visiting each individual website or journal homepage, you get an update whenever something new is posted. I use it to keep track of new papers in 20+ journals, all in one window.)

I’ve collected the addresses for you below, so you can add them to your favorite RSS reader. I use Google Reader myself, so it’s just a matter of right-clicking a link below, select Copy link address, open Reader, click “Add a Subscription” in the top left, and paste in the feed address.

If you have any questions or suggestions for journals that I’ve missed, note them in the Comments!

2009 Impact Factors for materials science

Jun 17th

Despite the fact that we can calculate these ourselves ahead of time with 99.9% accuracy, it’s exciting for editors when the Institute for Scientific Information releases the Impact Factors every June. It might be a flawed way of measuring how important a journal is, but the Impact Factor is currently the most-used criteria (short of actually reading what is published, gasp!).

So, good news for our team this year: the Impact Factor of Advanced Materials increased to 8.379, and that of Advanced Functional Materials went up to 6.990. In other words, more people are citing, and hopefully reading, the articles, that our journals published in recent years.

If you’re interested in more details, you can read about our materials science and polymer science journals on MaterialsViews.com.
