#1 in Impact Factor: Congratulations, PAIN!

Thomson Reuters released its Journal Citation Reports with the new Journal Impact Factor for 2011, and PAIN is the most frequently cited journal in the anesthesiology category. Our official journal's Impact Factor now stands at 5.777. 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 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.
