The Thomson \/ ISI 2011 Journal Impact Factors were just released, and the Journal of Cheminformatics received an Impact Factor of 3.42 &#8211; the first year we have been given an impact factor. This is very high for a new journal, and reflects our commitment to publishing interesting, important and high quality research with a wide scope of application in cheminformatics and related fields, with maximum accessibility. The impact factor compares very favourably with other much more established journals, both open access and subscription (e.g. BMC Bioinformatics = 2.75; PLoS ONE = 4.092).<\/p>\n<p>Of course Impact Factors are not everything, and there has been much discussion recently about article-level metrics being more informative than proprietary journal-level metrics. We&#8217;re thus pleased that the Journal of Cheminformatics is now supplying a variety of article-level statistics in the &#8220;about this article&#8221; section, including the increasingly discussed altmetric score (http:\/\/altmetric.com\/help.php)<\/p>\n<p>So thanks to all of you who made the Journal of Cheminformatics such a success, and we look forward to a bright future for the journal!<\/p>\n<p>David Wild &amp; Chris Steinbeck<br \/>\nEditors-in-Chief, Journal of Cheminformatics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just wanted to update you with some good news from the Journal of Cheminformatics.
