The Impact Factors (IF) of the FEMS Journals continue to go up. This is shown in the summary of the latest Impact Factors report received by the FEMS Publications Department.
According to the records produced by the Thomson Institute for Scientific Information, here are the following impact factors achieved by the five FEMS Journals:
FEMS Microbiology Reviews: 9.783
FEMS Microbiology Ecology: 3.598
FEMS Immunology and Medical
Microbiology: 2.335
FEMS Microbiology Letters: 2.199
FEMS Yeast Research: 1.785
The impact factor is a tool used to measure the frequency in which an article in a science journal has been cited in a given period of time.
In a given year (e.g. 2009), the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations to those papers that were published during the two preceding years (e.g. 2007 and 2008).
These are the total number of citations FEMS Journals achieved in the year 2009, reported and summarized in 2010:
FEMS Microbiology Reviews: 6025
FEMS Microbiology Ecology: 7168
FEMS Immunology and Medical
Microbiology: 3391
FEMS Microbiology Letters: 15800
FEMS Yeast Research: 1892
Said IF catapulted FEMS Microbiology Reviews from its number 8 ranking in year 2008 to number 6 in 2009 and FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology from rank 57 to 50.
FEMS Microbiology Ecology currently ranks 26 among 94 microbiology journals reviewed, FEMS Microbiology Letters ranks 54 and FEMS Yeast Research ranks 66.
FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology is coming up with a new Thematic Issue this month. The issue focuses on Biofilms, a topic inspired by the 2009 FEMS-Sponsored meeting, “amp;EuroBiofilms 2009”, the first European Congress in Microbial Biofilms.
FEMS Microbiology Letters has a new article type titled “amp;Current Controversies in Microbiology”. These are short discussion articles that review the benefits and potential pitfalls of recently developed microbiological methods.
The first article to be published under this new article type is the “amp;Transcriptional analysis in microbial fuel cells: common pitfalls in global gene expression studies of microbial Biofilms”.
This article is freely available here.
