Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (JAST) provides a forum for the basic and applied aspects of adhesion, chemistry of adhesives, coatings and sealants, and structure-properties relationships in adhesive joints and deals with applications of adhesion principles in all areas of technology. Furthermore, JAST also focuses on bioadhesion, corrosion, wood adhesion and adhesives, joining of materials by welding, medical adhesives and dental adhesives and sealants, some important emerging areas in which adhesion science and technology is especially relevant in applied science.
Progress in adhesion science has slowed in recent years and an innovative approach is necessary to push the subject in to new areas. Our current knowledge is sufficiently advanced to justify deeper research in to those issues that currently lie on the fringes of our understanding, focusing on multidisciplinary research and relationships between structures and properties. In order to enhance our knowledge on adhesion science, JAST will bridge the gap between chemistry, mechanics, physics, engineering, materials science, medicine and joining methodologies of different materials through accurate and current reporting of worldwide developments in adhesives, coatings and sealant chemistries, surface modification of materials, fracture mechanics and adhesion measurement. Our aim for JAST is to become the journal for the publication of innovative research and reviews, presenting articles to a broad readership interested in adhesion and the joining of all kinds of materials.
The scope of JAST is to continue to be at the forefront of adhesion research and development. Issues will contain original articles, reviews and short communications dealing with, but not restricted to, the following areas: surface modifications of materials to improve their adhesion; wood adhesion; pressure-sensitive adhesives and tapes; hot melt adhesives; structural adhesion; adhesion in dentistry; adhesion aspects in culture heritage; chemistry and functional adhesives, coatings and sealants; wettability and surface energetics; destructive and non-destructive adhesion measurement methods; contact mechanics; ageing and durability of adhesive joints; metal adhesion; smart and biomimetic adhesion and adhesives; natural adhesives; corrosion; joining of materials by welding; surface conditioning methods; polymer and composites adhesives; paper and cardboard adhesion; biological and medical adhesion; coupling agents; rubber and elastomer adhesion; mortar, asphalt and bitumen adhesion; and industrial, biological and medical applications in all fields driven by structure-adhesion properties relationships.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
