Russias nano publishing a relative view of
output in Scopus registered journals. Main BRIC
countries in this field
Hence China has over 20 of nano papers
and Russia and India each below 5

Elseviers journals publishing Nano papers

• Not all journals are listed as nano journals and
  many of the higher impact journals predate the
  nano period.
• ISI now has a category of Nanoscience and
  technology
• Often scientists use other terms instead of the
  nano prefix as this is not always taken seriously
• Main base of journals for Elsevier across this
  sector (defined by scale) is around 90 journals
  (from materials science, physics, chemistry and
  life science)
• E.g. the journal CARBON editor Professor Peter
  Thrower UK, Associate Editor Yuri Gogotsi who is
  at Drexler in US
• Why a nano journal??. Impact of carbon
  nanotubes etc
• Key journal for this topic

From Jackie Yings editorial. The new
journalRapid publishing

• Nano Today is also undergoing a major
  transformation. In 2009, the magazine will move
  to a traditional journal format as Nano Today An
  International Rapid Reviews Journal. The journal
  will provide a peer-reviewed forum for the
  publication of authoritative review articles,
  rapid communications, news and opinions to shape
  and define the frontiers of nanoscience and
  nanotechnology through their multidisciplinary
  applications. The journal aims to cover
  cutting-edge research with a rapid publication
  time of 46 weeks.
• We are delighted that Nano Today has received its
  first impact factor of 5.929 in the Thompson
  Reuters Journal Citation Reports for 2007. We
  look forward to your support of the journal, and
  call for your submission of review articles and
  short communications in the following areas
• Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Nanostructured
  Materials and Films
• Functionalization and Size-Dependent
  Properties of Nanocrystals, Quantum Dots and
  Nanowires
• Processing and Templating of Nanotubes and
  Nanoporous Materials
• Tailoring of Polymeric Nanoparticles,
  Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposites and Biohybrids
• Fabrication of Nano and Micro Electro
  Mechanical Systems
• Design and Engineering of Structural and
  Functional Nanomaterials
• Nanosystems for Biological, Medical, Chemical,
  Catalytic, Energy and Environmental Applications
• Nanodevices for Electronic, Photonic,
  Magnetic, Imaging, Diagnostic and Sensor
  Applications
