June 30, 2022 — TheRadiological Society of North America(RSNA) announced thatRadiology, the Society’s flagship peer-reviewed journal, sharply increased its impact factor in 2021, according to the newly released 2022 update to theClarivate Analytics Journal Citation Reports. Impact factor measures the relevance and influence of academic journals based on citation data.
Radiology has a 2021 impact factor of 29.146, up from 11.105 in 2020. The journal’s impact factor has risen steadily since 2015. Radiology was cited 76,068 times in 2021 and ranks first in impact factor among journals in theRadiology,NuclearMedicine and Medical Imaging category.
One of the top-cited journals in the field, Radiology publishes cutting edge and impactful imaging research articles in radiology and medical imaging. Over the past two years, the journal has been a leader in publishing medical-imaging focusedCOVID-19research, statements and commentary.
“The high impact factor for Radiology is representative of the fundamental importance of imaging throughout our hospitals and clinics,” saidDavid A. Bluemke, M.D., Ph.D., Radiology editor. “Our journal’s success depends on our author’s outstanding research efforts, made even more challenging during the pandemic.”
Radiology is the world’s foremost journal for new, important and translatable discoveries in medical imaging research and provides meaningful information to medical imaging physicians and scientists aiming to improve health and reduce the burden of disease.
Published regularly since 1923, Radiology has long been recognized as the authoritative reference for the most current, clinically relevant and highest quality research in the field of radiology. Each month, the journal publishes approximately 300 pages of peer-reviewed original research, authoritative reviews, commentary on significant articles, and expert opinion on new techniques and technologies.
“The notable increase in Radiology’s impact factor reflects the central role of medical imaging in patient care,” said Radiology deputy editorLinda Moy, M.D. “The exceptional research and educational content developed by our authors, as well as the dedication of our excellent reviewers and editorial board, contribute to the success of Radiology.”
RadioGraphics， RSNA的首要教育杂志也看到了影响力的跃升。射线照相的影响因子从2020年的5.333增加到2021年的6.312，被引17881次。自2015年以来，该流行杂志的影响因子增加了一倍多。
“RadioGraphics aims to publish the best peer-reviewed educational material for imaging professionals,” saidChristine ‘Cooky’ Menias,M.D., RadioGraphics editor. “Thank you to the excellent authors, reviewers and editorial board members for expanding the reach of RadioGraphics. The steadily rising journal impact factor reflects the influence of diagnostic imaging in academic research and clinical practice.”
《放射学》杂志创办于1981年，是诊断放射学领域领先的教育杂志之一。每个双月刊的特色是15至20篇实践聚焦的文章，涵盖放射学亚专科的所有领域，并解决诸如诊断成像技术、疾病或疾病组的成像特征、放射-病理相关性、实践政策和质量倡议、成像物理学、信息学和终身学习等主题。
With an emphasis on education presented at RSNA’s annual meeting, RadioGraphics’ primary mission is to publish the best in peer-reviewed educational material for radiologists, trainees, physicists and other radiology professionals.
A special issue—a monograph focused on a single subspecialty or on a crossover topic of interest to multiple subspecialties—is published each October.
