NISC Impact Factors improve

30 July 2014 marked the release of the 2013 version of Thomson Reuters Journal Citations Reports (JCR). The JCR is eagerly anticipated every year by publishers and editors alike, as it contains the latest journal Impact Factors (IF). NISC was pleased to note that on average NISC Journal Impact Factors went up by an impressive 32.5%, while the average 5-year Impact Factor was not far off with a 29.3% improvement. At NISC we have a long term outlook on journal metrics, including the Impact Factor. We aim for steady improvement instead of instability. It is pleasing to see that on average NISC journals are improving and that these gains are evident in other metrics.

The following journals were amoung those showing significant improvement:
