JCO Impact Factor Increases to 15.484 and Annual Citations Exceed 80,000
JCO’s impact factor has increased from 13.598 to 15.484, as reported by Thomson Reuters in its 2007 Journal Citation Report.
Of the 132 oncology journals monitored worldwide, JCO ranks fifth. JCO ranks 50th among the 6,417 scientific journals surveyed, putting it in the top 1% of STM publications. JCO’s impact factor has increased an average of 1.8 points for three consecutive years.
Impact factor is a measure of how often the average article in a journal has been cited within a given year.
JCO ranks second among oncology journals in total number of citations, and ranks 30th among all scientific journals surveyed. Last year, 707 of JCO’s published articles were cited at least once, for a total of 81,338 citations – almost 10,000 more than in the previous year.
JCO accounts for fully 9.2% of all oncology journal citations.
Daniel G. Haller, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JCO, had this to say:
“I do not think that a journal of our breadth, utility for caregivers and patients, and visibility could have done better. The success of the Journal continues to be the measure of dedication of the editorial and production staffs, the Editorial Board members, and the hundreds of reviewers who bring fairness and quality to the editorial process.”
