Advances in Natural Sciences Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Scope

• Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology belongs to the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and is published for it by IOP Publishing out of Bristol, and the scope it announces is that of a general nanoscience title rather than a journal of one technique.《Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology》属越南科学院所有，由 IOP 出版公司在布里斯托代为出版，它公布的宗旨是一份综合纳米科学刊的范围，不圈定某一门技术。

• The physics of nanometer-scale materials and devices comes first on the list, with optics and photonics named beside it as the parts of the subject the journal expects to see most.纳米尺度材料与器件的物理列在范围首位，光学与光子学并排列出，是刊方预期见得最多的两块。

• Chemistry and biology follow in the same sentence, so a paper on a synthesis route and a paper on a biological effect start from the same footing here.化学与生物学写在同一句里，讲合成路线的稿子与讲生物效应的稿子在同一个起点上被看待。

• The applications named are unusually specific for an aims statement. Quantum computation and smart lighting come first, which points at photonic and optoelectronic work.宗旨里点名的应用具体得少见。量子计算与智能照明排在最前，指向的是光子学与光电子方向。

• Energy generation and storage, sensors, health care, agricultural production and environmental protection make up the rest, and each of them has produced papers in the journal's volumes.发电与储能、传感器、医疗、农业生产与环境保护占了其余，每一项在这份刊的卷次里都能找到对应论文。

• Three article types are accepted. Papers carry original research whose conclusions mark a significant advance, a new finding or a demonstrable novelty.收稿分三类。论文类承载原创研究，结论要有实质推进、新发现或站得住的创新。

• Topical Reviews are invited by the editorial board and are meant to give the background of a field together with its present state, so they are commissioned rather than submitted in the ordinary way.专题综述由编委会约请，要求交代一个领域的来龙去脉与当下状况，走的是约稿而非普通投稿的路子。

• Comments take issue with work already published, and they usually appear with a Reply from the original authors in the same place.评论类针对已刊工作提出异议，通常与原作者的答复同期同处刊出。

• A volume runs to four issues and about eighteen papers an issue, which has held from the first volume of 2010 through the seventeenth in 2026 without much drift.一卷四期，每期十八篇上下，从 2010 年第一卷到 2026 年第十七卷都没有太大偏移。

• Photocatalysis and plasmonics carry a large share of the record. Silver nanoparticle synthesis and its applications, titanium dioxide composites and iron-doped titanium dioxide recur across the volumes.光催化与表面等离激元占了存量的很大一块。银纳米粒子的合成与应用、二氧化钛复合材料、掺铁二氧化钛在各卷里反复出现。

• Microsystems have their own line. A 2010 paper on micro and nano mechanical sensors and actuators built on silicon-on-insulator technology set the tone for the device papers that followed.微系统另有一条线。2010 年一篇讲绝缘体上硅工艺的微纳传感器与执行器的论文，为后来的器件类稿子定了调子。

• Single-photon work appears early as well, including the optical determination and magnetic manipulation of a single nitrogen-vacancy centre, which sits at the quantum end of the scope.单光子方向也出现得早，包括单个氮空位色心的光学测定与磁操控，属于范围内偏量子的一端。

• Biomedical uses are covered through DNA nanotechnology for drug delivery and through reviews of nanotechnology in cancer therapeutics, both from the middle of the last decade.生物医学用途由 DNA 纳米技术递药与纳米技术用于癌症治疗的综述撑起来，两篇都在上个十年中期。

• Agriculture was taken up in 2012 with a review asking how far nanotechnology can help farming, a question that the journal has returned to since.农业在 2012 年由一篇追问纳米技术究竟能帮农业多少的综述带进来，这个问题此后又回来过。

• Access is mostly by subscription. Slightly under one per cent of the recent output is gold open access, and an author who wants that route pays an article charge of about 1,875 dollars.获取方式以订阅为主。近年产出里金色开放获取不到百分之一，作者要走这条路需付约 1,875 美元的文章处理费。

• The title is not in the Directory of Open Access Journals, which is consistent with a subscription journal that offers an open option rather than an open platform.这份刊不在开放获取期刊目录里，与一份订阅刊提供开放选项而非以开放为底的做法相符。

History

• Volume one appeared in 2010 with four issues and 72 papers, and the founding year is the one the National Library of Medicine catalogues.第一卷在 2010 年出齐，四期共 72 篇，美国国家医学图书馆的编目也从这一年算起。

• Seventeen volumes had been issued by 2026. The seventeenth is the current one and it carries 63 papers in four issues.到 2026 年已经出到第十七卷。第十七卷是当前卷，四期里 63 篇。

• Volume numbers and calendar years do not line up one to one. Volumes three and four both opened in 2012, while volume six ran from 2014 into 2015.卷号与年份并非一一对应。第三卷与第四卷都在 2012 年起号，第六卷则是从 2014 年跨进 2015 年。

• The catalogue record carries the academy in the title, abbreviates the journal as Adv Nat Sci Nanosci Nanotechnol, and gives the imprint as Bristol.编目记录把科学院写进题名，缩写记作 Adv Nat Sci Nanosci Nanotechnol，出版地记作布里斯托。

• The Crossref deposit holds 1,280 records, and the coverage is continuous from the first volume onward rather than starting at a later digitisation.Crossref 的存缴有 1,280 条记录，从第一卷起就是连续的，不是后来才补做的前半段。

• Issues have stayed close to twenty papers. Volumes since 2018 have carried between 63 and 81 papers each, and no year has broken away from that band.每期篇数一直贴着二十。2018 年以来的各卷在 63 到 81 篇之间，没有哪一年跳出这个带。

• The impact factor stood at 1.7 in 2023, moved to 2.1 in 2024 and reached 2.4 in 2025, the same figure the newest citation report gives.影响因子 2023 年是 1.7，2024 年到 2.1，2025 年到 2.4，与最新一期引文报告的数字一致。

• The five-year value is also 2.4, which means the older papers are not dragging the average down and the recent ones are not pulling it up on their own.五年影响因子同样是 2.4，说明老论文没有把均值往下拽，新论文也没有单独把它抬起来。

• Total citations come to 2,750 and the cited half-life is 7.7 years, a long figure for a nanoscience title whose neighbours turn over faster.总被引 2,750 次，引用半衰期 7.7 年，对一份同侪换代更快的纳米科学刊来说这个数字算长。

• The Journal Citation Indicator is 0.31 and the percentile is 35.9, so the citation record sits below the middle of its field even where the impact factor looks respectable.期刊引文指标 0.31，百分位 35.9，即便影响因子看着体面，引用记录仍落在本领域的中位线之下。

• Three categories list the journal. Materials Science Multidisciplinary puts it at Q3 and 326 of 472, Physics Applied at Q3 and 123 of 191, and Nanoscience Nanotechnology at Q4 and 113 of 148.三个门类收了这份刊。材料科学综合列 Q3，472 种里第 326 位，应用物理列 Q3，191 种里第 123 位，纳米科技列 Q4，148 种里第 113 位。

• All three categories sit in the emerging sources edition rather than in the expanded index, even though the publisher is one of the larger society presses.三个门类都挂在新兴来源版里，没有进扩展版索引，尽管出版方是规模较大的学会出版社之一。

• The medical library gives no indexing source for the title, so the journal is not in PubMed, and the entries for its papers are found through Crossref and the publisher's platform instead.医学图书馆没有给这份刊列任何收录源，因此它不在 PubMed 里，论文条目要从 Crossref 与出版方平台去找。

• The names that recur most often among the 1,280 records are Mau Chien Dang, Van Hieu Nguyen and Bich Ha Nguyen, which keeps the author base close to the academy that owns the title.1,280 条记录里出现最多的名字是 Mau Chien Dang、Van Hieu Nguyen 与 Bich Ha Nguyen，作者群因此与拥有这份刊的科学院贴得很近。

Editors

• Editorial responsibility is split between the two parties. The academy owns the title and appoints the board, while IOP Publishing runs the platform, the production line and the deposits to the indexing services.编辑责任由两方分担。科学院拥有刊物并任命编委，IOP 出版公司负责平台、生产流程与向索引机构的存缴。

• The board's most visible power is the invitation of Topical Reviews. Those articles are not accepted from the open queue, and the published rules say so plainly.编委会最显眼的一项权力是约请专题综述。这类文章不从公开来稿里收，已公布的规则写得很直白。

• Comments give the board a second lever. A criticism of published work is handled as its own item and is normally printed together with the authors' reply.评论给了编委会第二个抓手。对已刊工作的批评按独立条目处理，通常与作者答复一并印出。

• The four issues a volume give the editors a quarterly rhythm, and the steady eighteen or so papers an issue mean the board is deciding on roughly seventy papers a year rather than on a flood.一卷四期给编辑们一个季度的节奏，每期稳定在十八篇上下，意味着编委会一年裁决七十篇左右，而不是面对洪流。

• Article types carry their own definitions in the instructions. A Paper has to show a significant advance, and a Topical Review has to lay out a field's background and its present state.稿约给每类稿件下了定义。论文类要显出实质推进，专题综述要铺开一个领域的背景与当下状况。

• Refereeing runs on the publisher's platform, and every accepted item is registered with its own DOI under the 10.1088 prefix and the journal's own 2043-6262 stem.评审在出版方的平台上运行，每一篇录用稿件都按 10.1088 前缀与刊物自己的 2043-6262 段注册独立 DOI。

• The academy's name in the title is not decoration. It tells a reader where the final editorial call sits when the publisher and the society disagree about a paper.题名里的科学院不是装饰。它告诉读者，出版方与学会对一篇稿子意见相左时，最终的编辑裁决落在哪一边。

• Author-facing material lives in a section of the publisher's support site that belongs to this journal alone, with its own statement of scope, article types and submission route.面向作者的材料放在出版方支持站上单独划给这份刊的一节里，宗旨、稿件类型与投稿路径各有一页。

• The board has kept the run continuous in the indexes. Deposits reach Crossref from the first volume of 2010 to the seventeenth of 2026 without a broken year.编委会让这份刊在索引里保持了连续。存缴从 2010 年第一卷一直排到 2026 年第十七卷，中间没有断年。

• The masthead itself is not reproduced in the open indexes, so the board's composition has to be read off its imprint on the record. Invited reviews, comment and reply pairs, a quarterly cadence and a steady seventy papers a year are the traces it leaves.刊头本身没有在公开索引里复现，编委会的构成只能从它在存缴里留下的印子读。约稿综述、评论与答复成对出现、季度节奏、一年稳定七十篇，都是它留下的痕迹。
