Congratulations, PAIN!

Impact Factor Increases to 6.030*

Thomson Reuters just released its Journal Citation Reports with the new Journal Impact Factor for 2008, and once again, PAIN has emerged as the most frequently cited journal on the subject of pain. Our official journal’s Impact Factor now stands at 6.030, which represents an increase of 15 percent over last year’s rating.

The Impact Factor measures, among other criteria, how often our journal articles are cited during a given time period. This news confirms what many already knew—that PAIN continues to be the premier and most respected journal on the subject of pain.

Congratulations and special thanks to our authors, editors (Section, Associate, and Support), reviewers, Editor-in-Chief Allan Basbaum, and our readers. All of them contributed to this outstanding achievement.
