Clinical Chemistry Cited in Nearly 20 000 Articles during 2006

The newly released Journal Citation Reports (JCR) shows that Clinical Chemistry was cited 19 949 times during 2006 in articles published in the journals covered by JCR. This number of citations is an all-time high for the journal, surpassing the previous high of 18 052 in 2005. Clinical Chemistry was the most frequently cited journal in the field, with the next highest journal having been cited 7470 times.

As in past years, Clinical Chemistry also has the highest impact factor in the field. The 2006 impact factor is 5.454, with the next highest journal at 3.032. The new impact factor for Clinical Chemistry cannot be compared with the 2005 impact factor because the way it was determined has changed. (Under the old calculation method, the 2006 impact factor is about 8.1.) As with laboratory workload statistics, changes in counting require a new baseline for monitoring trends. The new baseline will not be known until next year because the calculation covers a 2-year period. But that is a fine point.

The important news is that citations of Clinical Chemistry continue to increase, as does use of articles at the web site (see below), reflecting the continuing importance of the work you do.


Clinical Chemistry, by the Numbers, Numbers, Numbers

For 2006, 1523 manuscripts were submitted (a new high). The US accounted for the highest proportion of the submitted papers (22%), followed by Germany (8.7%), Italy (7.1%), China (5.2%), and The Netherlands (4.8%). The most common keyword was "immunoassay" (n = 39), just ahead of HPLC (n = 38). An average (mean) of 1.9 reviewers examined each manuscript.

It took an average of 6 days to choose the reviewers and for the required number of reviewers to agree to review. The average time for a reviewer to complete a review was 11 days, but nearly twice that time was . . . [Full Text of this Article]
