Significant Advances in Iran’s Nanotechnology Sector

In recent developments, Iran has witnessed remarkable growth in the field of nanotechnology over the past year (August 2024 – August 2025). Key achievements include:

  • A more than 100 percent increase in nanotech product exports
  • Publication of 10,860 articles indexed in the Web of Science (WoS)
  • Ranking sixth globally in the publication of nanotechnology articles

Iran’s commitment to advancing nanotechnology is underscored by its impressive publication record. In 2024, the country published a total of 4,615 articles in the top 25 percent of journals (Q1 journals), positioning itself among the top ten nations in this area. Additionally, Iran ranks 12th in the h-index for nano-related articles worldwide.

According to recent statistics, the leading countries in nanotechnology publications are:

  1. China: 86,924 articles
  2. United States: 14,473 articles
  3. India: 11,194 articles

Iran surpasses several countries, including England (4,360), Japan (4,022), and Spain (3,830), in this competitive ranking, as reported by ISNA. The Q1 journal index is critical for categorizing scientific journals based on their impact, commonly referenced in databases such as Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and Journal Citation Reports (JCR).

Impact of Iranian Journals in Nanotechnology

The Journal Citation Report (JCR) Impact Factor 2024 has recognized 161 Iranian journals, with five journals being distinguished as among the most cited in the nanotechnology sector globally.

Notably, the Journal of Nanostructure in Chemistry (JNSC), affiliated with Islamic Azad University, boasts an impressive impact factor of 7.9. It ranks among the top 25 percent of journals in JCR, achieving the following positions:

  • 34th among 147 top journals in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
  • 41st among 239 journals in Multidisciplinary Chemistry
  • 88th among 460 top journals in Multidisciplinary Material Science

Other notable journals include:

  • Journals of International Nano Letters (Impact Factor: 4.0)
  • Nano-medicine Journal (Impact Factor: 1.7)
  • Journal of Nanostructures (Impact Factor: 1.3)
  • International Journal of Nano Dimension (Impact Factor: 1.1)

Currently, out of the 12 specialized nanotechnology journals in Iran, ten have been indexed in the international Scopus database, with five of them receiving an impact factor.

As Iran continues to make strides in nanotechnology, the upcoming Nano Tech 2026 will undoubtedly provide a significant opportunity for the nation to highlight its advancements and foster international collaboration in this critical field.
