[飛貓報新聞] 2008 Impact Factors - RSC leads the way for chemistry

由ISI所計算最新出爐的2008 影響因數(impact factors),幾乎所有RSC的期刊在impact factor, immediacy index and article influence的資料均顯著增長，尤其impact factor increase的平均增長幅度更達8.2%，整體來看，RSC的期刊平均影響因數已站上4.7，與 ACS 期刊並駕其驅。

在ISI所列出七大化學核心領域*中，若依impact factor and immediacy index排名，英國皇家化學學會，RSC，在其中六個領域裏名列前十強；而在根據impact factor排名的前100大化學期刊中，RSC更囊括了其中的15個席次。

在此特別舉出三本高度關注之期刊：

ChemSocRev – 本期刊之影響因數增長幅度為 33% 而達到17.419。再次確認其在國際化學期刊領域的領先者地位。這本旗艦級期刊在所有2008出版的化學評論性期刊中，收錄了最多,最新與最專業的化學評論文獻。

Lab on a Chip -本期刊之影響因數增長幅度為 28% 而達到6.48。目前該期刊亦已躋身綜合化學領域的期刊前十名之列。

PCCP -本期刊之影響因數增長幅度超過20% 來到其新高4.06。另外，其最新的immediacy index (0.81) 亦保有在physical chemistry and chemical physics研究領域的期刊中最高水準。

其他尚有：

Analyst- impact factor now 3.761 (32% rise over 3 years)
ChemComm- impact factor now 5.340 (21% rise over 3 years)
CrystEngComm- impact factor now 3.535, and leading journal for immediacy (0.684) in the crystallography category

Molecular BioSystems- records an impressive second impact factor of 4.236
Natural Product Reports- at 7.450, the second highest impact journal in the medicinal and organic chemistry categories
New Journal of Chemistry- impact factor now 2.942, an 11% increase
Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry- enjoys its highest ever IF at 3.550 (a 12% rise)
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences- the society-owned journal has an impact factor of 2.144
Soft Matter- impact factor now 4.586, and still the # 1 journal for impact (and immediacy) in the field.
