2008/2009 Impact Factor Just Came Out
Some days ago, the 2008/2009 Journal Citation Reports of ISI Web of Knowledge have been published.
Journal Citation Reports are composed of two parts: the Science Edition and the Social Sciences Edition, in which journals are ranked according their impact factor during the last year.
In the Science Edition, we can find a category called “Neurosciences”, with three journals of the Nature Publishing Group in the top 5 journals of this category; with Nature Reviews Neuroscience having the highest impact factor in this category during the last year
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience (26.483)
- Annual Review of Neuroscience (24.822)
- Behavioral and Brain Sciences (19.045)
- Molecular Psychiatry (15.049)
- Nature Neuroscience (14.345)
Other well-known journals include the American Journal of Psychiatry (12.522) and the Archives of General Psychiatry (12.257), listed in 2nd and 3d place in the category “Psychiatry”, with, again, Molecular Psychiatry in the top one of this category.

Wow, the impact factor for most journals has really increased!
And the Archives is no longer the first journal in terms of Impact factor… I wonder were the British J Psych is now?

Many thanks for this information. It’s always interesting to see how citations make journals evolve into more or less influential!

British Journal is 7th in the “Psychiatry” list, with an impact factor of 5.777
I also was quite amazed that Archives had lost their top-rank position!
Anyway, other parameters in the list like “Article Influence Score” continue having Archives in the top one position.
Nagore, it´s nice to find you here! Hope you are well.
