The latest Impact Factor data for Mayo Clinic Proceedings shows progressive growth over the past 13 years, with the newly released 2012 scoring (published June 19, 2013) bringing the journal to a 5.79 Impact Factor. This places the journal in the top 7 percent of 151 journals in the Medicine, General & Internal category.
While most top-tier journals witness ups and downs in scoring year-to-year, Proceedings is unique in increasing its Impact Factor in twelve of the last thirteen years. This trend reflects both upon Mayo Clinic leadership for their support of the journal's editorial excellence and independence, and upon the efforts of the editorial team to turn Proceedings into a premier scholarly journal.
The flagship journal of Mayo and one of the premier peer-reviewed clinical journals in general medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings is among the most widely read and highly cited scientific publications for physicians, with a circulation of about 125,000. The journal welcomes submissions from authors worldwide, publishing articles that focus on clinical medicine and support the professional and educational needs of its readers.
