Letters in Applied NanoBioScience is committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible research assessment in scholarly publishing. In line with internationally recognized best practices, the journal provides clear, accurate, and verifiable information regarding its editorial performance and publication processes, while explicitly avoiding the use of misleading, non-transparent, or unsubstantiated indicators.
As an open-access journal operating in the Letters format and focused on academic quality and ethical publishing standards, the journal does not prioritize citation-based metrics as the sole measure of scholarly value. Formal impact indicators may not always be immediately available or fully representative, particularly for journals emphasizing rapid, concise scientific communications. Accordingly, Letters in Applied NanoBioScience places primary emphasis on rigorous peer review, editorial quality, scientific soundness, and the integrity of the scholarly record.
Where applicable, the journal periodically reports relevant editorial and publication data, including submission volumes, acceptance rates, peer-review timelines, publication frequency, and readership engagement. All reported information is derived from internal editorial records or from recognized indexing, abstracting, and archiving services and is updated on a regular basis.
The journal explicitly refrains from displaying or promoting unofficial, misleading, or non-transparent metrics, including unverified impact factors or third-party indicators that lack methodological clarity or international recognition. Any citation-based metrics presented by the journal are provided strictly for informational purposes and are not used to make promotional claims regarding the scientific merit or quality of published work.
This policy reflects the journal’s commitment to responsible metrics, transparency in scholarly communication, and alignment with internationally accepted standards for ethical, sustainable, and credible academic publishing.
Letters in Applied NanoBioScience is indexed in Scopus and has been assigned a CiteScore of 2.4 for the 2024 CiteScore year, as reported by Elsevier’s Scopus database. CiteScore is calculated based on citations received over a four-year publication window.
Citation-based metrics are presented solely as contextual information and are not regarded as the sole or definitive indicator of scholarly quality, impact, or relevance.
