Korea-Australia Rheology Journal is co-published by Springer with the Korean Society of Rheology and the Australian Society of Rheology, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《Korea-Australia Rheology Journal》由施普林格与韩国流变学会、澳大利亚流变学会共同出版，2025 年影响因子 2.4。
Volume 1 belongs to 1989 and volume 38 is the 2026 volume, so the title has carried a two-society arrangement for close to four decades.第 1 卷属 1989 年，第 38 卷对应 2026 年，两个学会合办这条线已经走了将近四十年。
Scope
The stated aim is fundamental and applied research with immediate or potential value in rheology, and the second word of that phrase is what widens the door.宗旨写的是流变学里当下有价值或有潜在价值的基础与应用研究，后面那半句把门开得比较宽。
New understanding of the deformation and flow of materials is the first item in the overview, which keeps constitutive questions at the centre of the journal.材料形变与流动的新认识列在概述第一条，本构问题因此一直处在刊物的中心。
Experimental and numerical advances in complex fluids are named together, so a simulation paper and a measurement paper on the same system can appear side by side.复杂流体的实验与数值进展被并列提出，同一体系上的模拟论文与测量论文因此可以相邻刊出。
Complex fluids here means the familiar set, polymer melts and solutions, suspensions, emulsions and foams, each with a microstructure that the flow can rearrange.这里的复杂流体指常见的那一组，聚合物熔体与溶液、悬浮液、乳液与泡沫，每一种都有能被流动重新排列的微结构。
Characterisation of technologically important materials is the third strand, and it is where the journal's applied papers find their justification.对技术上有分量的材料做表征是第三条线，刊物的应用类论文在这条线上站得住。
Colloidal systems come in through work on hydrodynamic interactions, with bulk rheometry compared against rotation-based optical tweezer measurements on the same dispersion.胶体体系从流体力学相互作用的研究进来，有工作把本体流变测量与基于旋转的光镊测量放在同一分散系上对照。
Polymer electrolytes appear in recent papers, including cellulose nanocrystal reinforcement of a PEO-based solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium batteries.聚合物电解质出现在近期论文里，包括用纤维素纳米晶补强聚氧乙烯固态电解质以配全固态锂电池。
Bitumen and asphalt are treated as rheological materials in their own right, and one 2026 paper characterises hybrid SBR and wax-modified bitumen for warm mix asphalt.沥青被当作流变材料本身来对待，2026 年有一篇就表征用于温拌沥青的 SBR 与蜡复合改性沥青。
Biological and biomedical rheology enters through hydrogels, with reviews connecting network structure to the performance a functional hydrogel shows in use.生物与生物医学流变通过水凝胶进来，综述把网络结构与功能性水凝胶在使用中的表现连起来。
Viscoelastic flow problems are worked through analytically as well as numerically, and a recent paper examines viscous heating in a Gordon-Schowalter plane Poiseuille flow.黏弹性流动问题既做数值也做解析，近期一篇就研究 Gordon-Schowalter 平面泊肃叶流动里的黏性生热。
Constitutive modelling is treated as a subject that can be tested, and the same paper reads the thermal equivalence of the Maxwell limits as a sensitivity question.本构模型被当作可以检验的题目，同一篇把麦克斯韦极限的热等价性当作敏感性问题来读。
Reviews, original articles and short communications are all accepted, so a compact report on one measurement is not forced into the length of a full paper.综述、原创论文与短通讯都收，单个测量的紧凑报告不必被撑成整篇论文的长度。
The journal runs calls for papers, and a forthcoming collection honours David Boger, with submissions open until the end of March 2027.刊物发征稿通知，其中一辑纪念 David Boger，投稿开放到 2027 年三月底。
History
The Korean Society of Rheology started the journal in 1989, and the Australian society joined the arrangement, which is why both names sit in the title rather than one being credited as a sponsor.韩国流变学会 1989 年创办该刊，澳大利亚流变学会后来加入合办，两个名字因此都进了刊名，而不只是赞助方。
Springer prints and distributes the title, and the imprint lists it with the two societies as co-publishers rather than as a society newsletter handled informally.施普林格负责印制与发行，版权页把它与两个学会并列为共同出版方，而不是当成内部通讯随便处理。
Volume 30 fell in 2018 and volume 38 in 2026, so a volume has always matched a calendar year with no drift across the new year.第 30 卷落在 2018 年，第 38 卷落在 2026 年，一卷始终对应一个自然年，没有跨年的漂移。
Four issues make a volume in the normal run, and the last two volumes show the occasional combined number, with a 3-4 issue in volume 37 and three issues in volume 38.常规情况下四期成一卷，最近两卷出现了合号，第 37 卷有第 3-4 合期，第 38 卷只出到第三期。
Volume 30 carried 29 papers, volume 31 carried 29, volume 32 carried 30 and volume 33 carried 29, so the annual count is remarkably steady for a title of this size.第 30 卷收 29 篇，第 31 卷 29 篇，第 32 卷 30 篇，第 33 卷 29 篇，对这个规模的刊物来说年产量相当稳。
Volume 34 carried 28 and volume 35 carried 31, and the last three volumes ran 31, 30 and 35, so the working range is twenty-eight to thirty-five papers a year.第 34 卷 28 篇，第 35 卷 31 篇，最近三卷分别是 31 篇、30 篇与 35 篇，常在区间是每年二十八到三十五篇。
Papers dated in the previous year land in the next volume often enough to show up in the counts, which is normal for a quarterly that closes in December.署前一年日期的论文常落进下一卷，在卷内篇数里看得出来，对一本十二月截稿的季刊来说这很平常。
The Journal Impact Factor moved to 2.2 for 2023 and 2.6 for 2024 before settling at 2.4 for 2025, and the five-year figure is 2.0.影响因子 2023 年升到 2.2，2024 年到 2.6，2025 年停在 2.4，五年影响因子是 2.0。
Mechanics places the journal in the third quartile at 92 of 172 titles on the 46.8th percentile, the best position it holds in the release.力学类把它列在第三区，172 种刊中排 92，百分位 46.8，是它在那一版里的最好位置。
Polymer science gives a second third-quartile placement at 61 of 96, a slot it shares with several other materials titles in the same region.高分子科学给出第二个第三区位置，96 种刊中排 61，这一档里还有同一地区的好几种材料刊。
The 2025 release records 761 citations, with 21 articles giving 28 citable items, a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.37 and a cited half-life of 7.8 years, the longest half-life in the batch.2025 年版记下总被引 761 次，21 篇文章给出 28 篇可引条目，期刊引文指标 0.37，被引半衰期 7.8 年，是本批里最长的。
Only 8.6 per cent of the articles are gold open access, so the journal is a subscription title with a hybrid route used by a minority of authors.只有 8.6% 的文章是金色开放获取，刊物属于订阅刊，混合通道只有少数作者走。
The publisher reports a median of nine days from submission to first decision and 53.2 thousand downloads for 2025, figures given on the journal home page.出版社公布从投稿到首次决定的中位时间是九天，2025 年下载量 5.32 万次，这两个数字写在期刊主页上。
Indexing reaches well beyond the citation index, and Scopus, the Korea Citation Index, the Astrophysics Data System and several Chinese and Russian services all list the title.收录范围远不止引文索引，Scopus、韩国引文索引、天体物理数据系统以及若干中国与俄罗斯的服务都列有该刊。
Editors
Kyu Hyun at Pusan National University is Editor-in-Chief, and his own papers on cellulose nanocrystals and polymer electrolytes appear in the journal he leads.釜山国立大学的 Kyu Hyun 任主编，他自己关于纤维素纳米晶与聚合物电解质的论文也发表在他主持的这本刊上。
Ahmad Jabbarzadeh at the University of Sydney is Co-Editor-in-Chief, which gives the Australian society a named hand on the editorial side and not only on the masthead.悉尼大学的 Ahmad Jabbarzadeh 任共同主编，澳大利亚学会因此在编辑一侧有具体的人，而不只是出现在刊名里。
Six associate editors divide the work, four of them in Korea and two in Australia, so the two halves of the partnership each carry a share of the handling load.六位副主编分担工作，四位在韩国、两位在澳大利亚，合作的双方各担一部分处理稿件的活。
Youngho Eom at Hanyang University and Keon-Soo Jang at the University of Suwon cover polymer processing and materials, and Seon Yeop Jung at Dankook covers computational work.汉阳大学的 Youngho Eom 与秀大学的 Keon-Soo Jang 管高分子加工与材料，檀国大学的 Seon Yeop Jung 管计算方向。
