ICMAB’s 2025 most published journals - A year in review

"It doesn't exist if it is not published", or "Publish or perish". For sure, you have heard some of these sentences. Our ICMAB researchers do great science, and also publish the results in specialised scientific journals, to disseminate the research results they obtain. In 2025, our researchers published 252 research articles in many different journals, in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials, nanotechnology and more. A total of 142 different journals!

These are the journals that have published more of our research in 2025:
