Updated Impact Factors for MDPI Journals

We are pleased to report the 2016 Journal Impact Factors, which were published by Clarivate Analytics in the latest edition of the Journal Citation Reports®. For 21 out of 27 journals covered in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) the Impact Factor increased compared to the previous year.

Coatings received a first Impact Factor; Cancers was included in the Science Citation Index Expanded earlier this year and is due to receive an Impact Factor in the 2018 release of the Journal Citation Reports.
