Cell Press, an imprint of STM publisher Elsevier, has announced that its flagship journal Cell's 2010 impact factor increased to 32.401, according to new data released in the Journal Citation Reports published by Thomson Reuters. The impact factor for Cell, a leading research journal in Cell Biology and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, has climbed steadily over the last 5 years.
Among Cell Press's more recent suite of journal launches focusing on translational biomedical areas, Cancer Cell delivered another strong performance increasing by almost 7 percent to 26.925. Rising stars Cell Stem Cell and Cell Host & Microbe continue to grow from strength to strength in their third year of impact factors with Cell Stem Cell rising to 25.943 and Cell Host & Microbe increasing to 13.728.
The 14 Trends review titles which joined Cell Press in 2007, also demonstrated significant increases in a number of subject areas. Leading lights include Trends in Biotechnology which grew 40 percent to 9.644, Trends in Ecology & Evolution which increased by 25 percent to 14.448, Trends in Genetics which increased by 31 percent to 11.364 and Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism which increased by 29 percent to 8.479.
Impact Factors measure the frequency which the average article in a journal has been cited in a given year. This data helps indicate a journal's relative importance when compared to other publications in the same field.
