Newswise — ARLINGTON, VA. (July 10, 2018) – The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is very pleased to announce that The AAPS Journal, AAPS PharmSciTech and Pharmaceutical Research continue to successfully disseminate extremely high-quality content to the pharmaceutical sciences community. According to Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Citation Reports, the 2017 impact factors for AAPS’ journals were all highly ranked in the category of Pharmacology and Pharmacy.
The AAPS Journal’s (AAPSJ) ranking increased 14 spots to 51 out of 261 journals in its category, and its impact factor grew from 3.423 to 3.804. Those rankings put AAPSJ in the top 20% of publications in Pharmacology and Pharmacy. The impact factor (IF) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the annual number of citations of recent articles published in that journal. It is frequently used as an index for the relative impact of a journal within its field. In 2017 there were 1,050 citations of 276 AAPSJ items published in 2015 and 2016.
“The editors and staff of The AAPS Journal are grateful for the support of our authors and reviewers, who decidedly maintain the high standards that we strive for, not only in terms of the scientific quality of our publications, but also of the fairness and timeliness of our review process. We hope to continue to improve so as to serve the needs of AAPS members and the scientific community at large,” noted H. Leung Fung, Ph.D., editor of AAPSJ.
AAPS PharmSciTech’s ranking increased by 9 spots to 118 of 261 journals, with a new IF of 2.666. In 2017 there were 789 citations of 296 items published in 2015 and 2016.
AAPS’ Pharmaceutical Research journal ranked in two separate categories: Chemistry, Multidisciplinary and Pharmacology & Pharmacy. In the former, it ranked 61 of 171 journals with a 3.335 IF, and in 2017 there were 1,821 citations of 546 items published in 2015 and 2016.
Congratulations and a special thank you to our editors and editorial teams for their efforts to achieve this success!
