Below field-year expectation
of 1,314 topic-associated OpenAlex sources by lifetime output
FWCI compares papers with the same publication year, type, and field. 1.0 is the world average; above 1.0 is above expectation. This journal's median is 0.97, so its typical recent paper runs about 3% below its field benchmark.
12.8% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.
Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

ACS Nanoscience Au's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 2.9, from the August 2026 data release. The score is a two-year citation average computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works.
We have not found an official acceptance rate published by ACS Nanoscience Au or its publisher, and Journal Metrics does not estimate one because submission counts are not public. What recent PubMed records do show is speed: accepted papers took a median of 70 days from submission to acceptance. To judge selectivity, compare ACS Nanoscience Au's quartile and score with similar journals, or ask the editorial office.
ACS Nanoscience Au's best quartile is Q1. By OpenAlex subfield: Q3 in Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials; Q1 in History and Philosophy of Science; Q2 in Materials Chemistry. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.
No. Journal Metrics computes the score independently from OpenAlex open data. Other providers use different citation databases, document types, and counting rules, so their published figures for ACS Nanoscience Au will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
ACS Nanoscience Au accepts papers a median of 70 days after submission across 100 recent PubMed records with both dates; the middle half took 51–87 days. This includes peer review, editorial handling, and revisions.
PubMed records when a manuscript was received and accepted, not the individual review stages, so peer review time on its own is not available. The full time from submission to acceptance at ACS Nanoscience Au, which includes peer review and revisions, has a median of 70 days.
