A Year of Continued Growth and Success
暂无分享,去创建一个
2011 was another strong year for Neuro-Oncology. The journal is projected to receive approximately 658 papers by the end of 2011, a substantial increase from 582 in 2010, when the journal began to be published monthly, and 576 in 2009. Free online access to Neuro-Oncology was added to the membership benefits of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology, further increasing the journal's distribution and exposure, and a mobile version of our website became available.
We are also pleased to report that our quality standard has remained high despite our continued growth, as reflected by our 2010 impact factor number of 5.483. This figure, released annually by Thomson Scientific in the Journal Citation Reports, is substantially higher than the 4.984 reported in 2009 and demonstrates an improved citation rate during a period of transition and flux for the journal. Neuro-Oncology is now ranked 24th of 185 oncology journals and 15th of 185 clinical neurology journals.
Starting with volume 14, Neuro-Oncology will begin requiring structured abstracts (organized into Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions sections) for all submitted manuscripts. We believe that this will make papers easier to review and index. We ask that all authors please keep this new format in mind when submitting their articles for consideration.consideration.

Neuro-Oncology's impact factors since 2002. The journal switched from quarterly publication to bimonthly in 2008 and to monthly in 2010. The 2010 impact factor of 5.483 reflects papers published in 2008 and 2009.
Neuro-Oncology is indebted to the tireless members of our editorial board (whose names appear in every issue of the journal) and other peer reviewers for helping us succeed (listed below are those reviewers who had agreed to conduct manuscript reviews as of October 31). We also thank our authors and readers for their ongoing valuable contributions to the journal.
