EASL journal JHEP Reports celebrates receiving its first impact factor
28 June 2022
It is with great pleasure that EASL announces that their first open-access journal JHEP Reports has received its first impact factor ever of 9.917. This milestone event has taken place only three years after the publication of its first issue in May 2019, and the journal being accepted into Clarivate’s Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Journal Citation Reports in early 2022.
The impact factor is an important measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal is cited in a given year, contributing to the standing of a journal within the scientific community.
JHEP Reports is an open access, online-only, companion title to the highly respected Journal of Hepatology. Its original aim was to provide a respected channel for the publication of innovative basic, translation and clinical studies in hepatology.
We are delighted with this important first-time achievement for JHEP Reports. This major milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the editorial team, JHEP Reports was developed to provide an alternative home for innovative research in hepatology and having our first impact factor puts us firmly on the map.
said Editor-in-Chief of JHEP Reports, Prof. Jessica Zucman-Rossi.
Congratulations to JHEP Reports for this wonderful step. We wish to thank to the authors, who entrusted their research to the Journal and the reviewers who offer their precious time and expertise. The editorial team who steered the Journal to this wonderful achievement deserve a round of applause, as it is their work that shines a light on JHEP Reports as a key resource in the field of hepatology.
said EASL Secretary General Prof. Thomas Berg.
