Nano

Nano is an international peer-reviewed journal for nanoscience and nanotechnology, published by World Scientific since 2006 and carrying work on nanomaterials, new characterization tools, fabrication methods and device applications.《纳米》是一份面向纳米科学与纳米技术的国际同行评议期刊，由 World Scientific 自 2006 年起出版，刊载纳米材料、新型表征工具、制造方法与器件应用方面的研究。

The title comes out monthly, twelve regular issues to the year with two further numbers given over to themed special issues, and it took an impact factor of 1.3 in the 2025 citation report.该刊每月出版一次，每年十二个常规期号，另有两个期号用于主题专刊，在 2025 年的引证报告中影响因子为 1.3。

Its papers are carried by the Science Citation Index Expanded and by PubMed, where only a selection of citations is taken, and the journal holds a fourth quartile placing in three subject categories with a five year impact factor of 1.2.该刊论文被科学引文索引扩展版与 PubMed 收录，后者只选取部分引用文献，该刊在三个学科类目中均居第四区，五年影响因子为 1.2。

Scope

• The stated remit covers forefront fundamental research in nanoscience and nanotechnology together with subjects that have only just come into view.自述的选题范围涵盖纳米科学与纳米技术领域的前沿基础研究，以及刚刚进入视野的新兴课题。

• Timely reports of new results and technical breakthroughs form the core of the offering, with review articles on hot topics running alongside them.新近成果与技术突破的及时报道构成刊物主体，有关热点问题的综述文章与之并行刊出。

• Nanomaterials occupy the widest stretch of the remit, nano-related biomaterials among them, and the syntheses that produce them are the subject of much of the published work.纳米材料占据选题范围中最宽的一段，纳米相关的生物材料也在其中，制备它们的合成方法构成已发表工作的主要部分。

• New physical phenomena are named among the areas of interest, particularly those that show up once a structure is worked down to the scale of a few tens of nanometres.新的物理现象被列在关注范围之内，尤其是结构被缩小到几十纳米量级之后才显现出来的那一类。

• Characterization tools come into the same list, covering the microscopy, spectroscopy and scattering methods used to look at matter at that size.表征工具同样列在这份清单上，涵盖用于观察该尺度物质的显微、光谱与散射方法。

• Fabrication methods are included, and self-assembly is singled out as one of the routes by which intricate structures can be built up without a mould.制造方法也在其内，自组装被单独点出，作为无需模具即可搭起精细结构的一条途径。

• Device applications form another strand, the articles published in recent volumes ranging from quantum computing schemes to gas sensing platforms and to perovskite cells for solar conversion.器件应用构成另一条线索，近年的文章从量子计算方案一路排到气体传感平台与用于光电转换的钙钛矿电池。

• Numerical simulation, modeling and theory are treated as part of the remit, though manuscripts that offer only computation without experimental evidence are held to be out of scope at the present stage of the field.数值模拟、建模与理论同样被视为选题范围的一部分，不过在纳米科学现阶段的发展水平上，只做计算而没有实验证据的稿件被认为与范围不符。

• Environmental and energy questions draw a growing share of the published work, covering the photocatalytic conversion of water and the behaviour of zero-valent iron in ground water.环境与能源问题在已发表工作中所占的比重不断上升，涉及水的光催化转化以及零价铁在地下水中的行为。

• Biomedical uses are represented as well, with hydroxyapatite particles and the testing of antibacterial activity among the subjects taken up in recent volumes.生物医学方面的用途同样有所体现，羟基磷灰石颗粒与抗菌活性的测试是近几卷涉及的题材。

• Mechanics at the nanoscale comes through in studies of fatigue and of dislocation movement in nickel-based superalloys.纳米尺度的力学问题出现在有关疲劳以及镍基高温合金中位错运动的研究里。

• Heat and mass transfer in nanofluids is another established line, one that stretches from boundary layer flow to the rheology of nanoparticle suspensions.纳米流体中的传热传质是另一条已经站稳的线索，从边界层流动一直延伸到纳米颗粒悬浮液的流变行为。

• Nanofabrication and patterning work appears regularly, in the form of nanocone arrays for surface enhanced Raman scattering and of ordered nanotube arrays with a tuned optical response.纳米制造与图案化的工作经常出现，形式包括用于表面增强拉曼散射的纳米锥阵列，以及光响应经过调控的有序纳米管阵列。

• A standing rule on numbers alone keeps simulation-only work out, which is why so many articles in the journal pair a calculation with a measurement.针对纯计算稿件的这条规矩将其挡在范围之外，这也是该刊许多文章把计算与测量放在一起做的原因。

History

• The first volume appeared in 2006, the title being launched by World Scientific as a specialist journal for a field then moving at speed.第一卷于 2006 年面世，该刊由 World Scientific 创办，面向当时进展极快的这一领域。

• It began life as a bimonthly, six numbers in each year, which is the frequency the national library catalogue in the United States still carries.创刊时为双月刊，每年六期，美国的国家图书馆目录至今仍按这一频率著录。

• The number of issues rose to eight a year in 2014 and to twelve in 2016, when the title became a monthly.2014 年期数增至每年八期，2016 年增至十二期，该刊自那时起成为月刊。

• Since that change the volumes have carried fourteen numbered issues, the twelve regular monthly numbers being joined by two further numbers given over to themed special issues.自那次变更以来，各卷都带有十四个期号，十二个常规月刊期号之外另有两个期号用于主题专刊。

• Early issues were slim by present standards, the deposit record for the journal showing 29 works in 2006 and 47 in 2007.按今天的标准，早期各期都很单薄，该刊的论文投递记录显示 2006 年为 29 篇，2007 年为 47 篇。

• Output then grew steadily with the field, passing a hundred works a year in 2014 and reaching a hundred and seventy two in the year covered by the 2025 citation report.发文量随后随这一领域稳步增长，2014 年越过每年一百篇，在 2025 年引证报告覆盖的年份里达到一百七十二篇。

• The publisher behind the title is a Singapore company, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd., and the journal's own imprint hands the copyright of an accepted paper over to that company.该刊背后的出版方是新加坡的 World Scientific Publishing，刊物自身的版权页把录用论文的版权交给这家公司。

• A United States office in New Jersey serves the American market, and that address is the one carried in the national library catalogue entry for the journal.设在新泽西的美国分部负责北美市场，国家图书馆的期刊著录所记的正是这个地址。

• The subscription model has been the backbone of the journal throughout, and the share of the output published in gold open access stood at zero per cent in the 2025 report.订阅制一直是该刊的根基，2025 年的报告中以金色开放获取发表的产出占比为零。

• A paid open access route runs alongside it, an author who wants an article free to read settling a charge once the paper is accepted, while the ordinary route carries no page charge.旁边另有一条付费开放获取通道，作者若希望文章免费阅读，就在录用后结算一笔费用，常规通道则不收版面费。

• The journal has been carried by the Science Citation Index Expanded since its first year, and PubMed takes a selection of its citations rather than the full run of papers.该刊自创刊起即被科学引文索引扩展版收录，PubMed 则只选取部分引用文献，而非全部论文。

• Recent standing is modest, with a journal impact factor of 1.3 against a five year figure of 1.2, a journal citation indicator of 0.17 and a percentile of 17.该刊近年的位置偏于保守，影响因子 1.3，五年值 1.2，期刊引文指标 0.17，百分位 17。
