Important Updates on Impact Factor and Indexing for Applied Catalysis O: Open (previously known as Catalysis Communications)
With the transition from Catalysis Communications to Applied Catalysis O: Open, the journal has undergone several changes regarding indexing and citation metrics. Please note the following updates:
2025: Catalysis Communications has retained its Impact Factor, receiving a 2024 Impact Factor of 4.(released in June 2025). Applied Catalysis O: Open is now included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and has an Immediacy Index, which reflects the average number of citations in the JCR year to content published in the same year. Articles published under the new title are indexed in Web of Science.
2026: A final Impact Factor will be awarded to Catalysis Communications.
2027 and beyond: Only Applied Catalysis O: Open will have an Impact Factor.
We invite you to submit your innovative research to Applied Catalysis O: Open and join a global community at the forefront of open access catalysis publishing.
