UNSW Sydney is proud of the early publication performance, influence and reach of its Nature Partner Journal npj Quantum Information , from advancing discovery to affecting public discourse.
At a time of the year when the Journal Citation ReportsTM are published, UNSW sees npj Quantum Information 's inaugural Impact Factor in the context of a variety of journal-based metrics that provide a richer view of the journal's performance.
For 2016, the range of performance metrics, which are made available on the journal website, include:
By making available a range of article-level metrics including social media shares, we wish, with our partner publisher Springer Nature, to encourage the shift toward assessment based on the scientific content of an article rather than solely on publication metrics of the journal in which it was published.
This promotes both responsible authorship practices and the provision of information about the specific contributions of each author.
UNSW Dean of Science Professor Emma Johnston said: "UNSW leads the world in the race to build a quantum computer in silicon, and is also proud to be a leader in the global sharing of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field."
- testimony not only to this exponentially advancing field, but also to the vision and leadership of Professor Simmons and her editorial team."
The open access publication was launched by then Minister for Education Christopher Pyne and the first articles were published in October 2015.
