IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Journal of Materials Chemistry C against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA

APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{wang2014,

}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. Journal of Materials Chemistry C records 25,387 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.
How this journal sits in the record
Journal of Materials Chemistry C carries an h-index of 231, which is above 5% of the journals covered here, and its articles have accumulated 713,813 citations across 25,387 indexed works. Its two-year mean citedness is 5.05.
13 of the journals covered here are published by Royal Society of Chemistry. Reference style is set per title rather than per publisher, so do not carry a format across from a sibling journal without checking.
These are indexing figures describing how often work in this venue is cited. They say nothing about whether a particular article is sound, and they are not a substitute for reading it.
Questions about Journal of Materials Chemistry C
What is the ISSN of Journal of Materials Chemistry C?
The linking ISSN is 2050-7526. The journal also carries 2050-7534, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Journal of Materials Chemistry C?
Royal Society of Chemistry publishes it. 13 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is Journal of Materials Chemistry C open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from Journal of Materials Chemistry C in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key wang2014 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Journal of Materials Chemistry C use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 6921, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is Journal of Materials Chemistry C?
Its h-index is 231, above 5% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 713,813 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 5.05. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Journal of Materials Chemistry C have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 231 and a two-year mean citedness of 5.05 across 25,387 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
