Aggregate

Aggregate is a high-impact, peer-reviewed, open access journal published by Wiley in partnership with the South China University of Technology and the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers. With an ISSN of 2692-4560 and ranked in the JCR Q1 quartile, the journal serves as a premier international platform for cutting-edge research on aggregate-level science, spanning from fundamental principles to advanced applications. Its scope encompasses the design, synthesis, characterization, and functional utilization of molecular aggregates, including but not limited to supramolecular assemblies, clusters, colloids, and nanostructured materials. The journal particularly emphasizes emergent properties arising from aggregation, such as aggregation-induced emission, chirality, and energy transfer, bridging chemistry, materials science, physics, and biology. Aggregate publishes a diverse array of article types, including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, communications, perspectives, and highlight summaries of recent breakthroughs. The target audience comprises academic researchers, industry scientists, and graduate students working in materials chemistry, nanoscience, polymer science, biomedical engineering, and photophysics. A notable feature of the journal is its fully open access model, ensuring global visibility and rapid dissemination of findings without subscription barriers. In the field, Aggregate has rapidly established itself as a leading venue for aggregation-related research, consistently maintaining a JCR Q1 ranking with a competitive impact factor, reflecting its strong citation influence and high editorial standards. Its interdisciplinary focus and commitment to publishing innovative studies on collective molecular behavior make it an essential resource for advancing the understanding and application of aggregated systems.
