List of scientific journals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by MJ1984 (talk | contribs) at 09:30, 6 February 2021 (→General and multidisciplinary science: Updated Impact Factors to 2019). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following is a partial list of scientific journals. There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past. The list given here is far from exhaustive, only containing some of the most influential, currently publishing journals in each field. As a rule of thumb, each field should be represented by less than ten positions, chosen by their impact factors and other ratings.

Note: there are many science magazines that are not scientific journals, including Scientific American, New Scientist, Australasian Science and others. They are not listed here.

For periodicals in the social sciences and humanities, see list of social science journals.
