Launched in 1969, Textile Progress publishes critical, comprehensive and authoritative reviews of research into all aspects of the textile, apparel and footwear industries, associated sciences, social sciences and technologies. With emphasis on recent developments and improvements in both product and service performance, the journal aims to be topical in its choice of research review subjects. Textile Progress is intended to appeal to a wide readership, to stimulate interdisciplinary interest among textile, clothing and footwear professionals and also to provide an understanding of the state of the art that is accessible to non-textile specialists. Examples of areas that have been addressed by the journal in recent years include:
Smart textiles
The science of clothing comfort/moisture transport/clothing systems for outdoor activities
Fibre-reinforced composites/composite nonwovens (hard and soft composites)
Green chemistry and the textile industry/functional finishing/plasma technology/ dyeing and coloration
Development of medical garments for the elderly and disabled
Nanoparticles and nanotechnology in the development of high-performance textiles
Fashion marketing, fashion retailing and fashion retail technology.
All review articles in Textile Progress undergo both expert peer review and editorial screening before being accepted for publication.

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.
The Textile Institute was founded in 1910, becoming very-well established and therefore incorporated in England by Royal Charter in 1925. The Textile Institute is however, an international body which works to promote professionalism in the textiles, clothing, footwear and related industries on a worldwide basis. To this end it has an international range of members and they are active across the world; the Institute’s research and professional publications are therefore intended to support them and others who work in those industries, whatever their nationality and wherever they might be located.
Alongside its research journals, The Journal of The Textile Institute and Textile Progress, The Textile Institute publishes a member’s magazine, textiles, as well as learned books, all aimed at providing definitive sources not only of the best information about research on topics of interest to practitioners and researchers in textiles, clothing and footwear but also about the manufacturing and business practices with which those industries are involved.
Further details about The Textile Institute’s courses, conferences, qualifications, membership, institutional accreditation, other support activities and available publications can be found on the Institute’s website at:
