Newswise — Reston, Va. (Aug. 17, 2015) -- According to the new 2015 Thomson Reuters ratings, the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) impact factor has increased 24 percent since 2014. Of the 125 journals in the Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Medical Imaging category, JACR is now ranked 32nd with an IF of 2.836. Only Radiology and European Radiology have higher impact factors among general radiology journals.
“The JACR’s rapid rise in the rankings reflects our commitment to provide the highest quality research and commentary on behalf of our authors and readers. JACR provides information on topics that were once largely ignored by other journals but have become vital as radiology and the rest of health care rapidly evolve,” said Bruce J. Hillman, MD, FACR, editor in chief of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
Each year, Thomson Reuters releases its annual impact factor. According to Thomson Reuters, the impact factor of a journal is designed to demonstrate the journal’s relevance to the scholarly publishing community. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.
As a thank you to its readers, the JACR is offering free access to the top three most cited articles until mid-October including:ACR Appropriateness Criteria Breast Cancer Screening
Initial Experience With a Free, High-Volume, Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program
ACR Appropriateness Criteria Prostate Cancer – Pretreatment Detection, Staging, and Surveillance
