The impact factor for the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) is now at a record 6.532, up from 6.113 a year ago. JACS now is ranked 14th among the 211 journals in the surgery category.
The impact factor, an important metric indicating a journal’s influence, measures the frequency with which the average article has been cited in a particular year.
“I want to thank the authors who have published their research in JACS,” said Editor-in-Chief Timothy J. Eberlein, MD, FACS, an ACS Regent from St. Louis, MO. “Their work helps us continue the quest to improve the impact of our journal for ACS members and the patients they care for.”
A subscription to JACS is among the many benefits of ACS membership, as well as the opportunity to earn continuing medical education credits for engaging with the journal.
