Impact Factor EJCRHC
We are pleased to announce that the current Impact Factor for The European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care is now at 1,616.
- 2010 = 1,616
- 2009 = 0.973
- 2008 = 0.824
- 2007 = 0.872
- 2006 = 0.467
- 2005 = 0.721
All health indicators concerning the Journal are favourable:
- The number of submitted manuscripts is steadily increasing: + 277% from 2004 to 2009.
- The rejection rate is steadily increasing since 2005 (>67% in 2009), which indicates an ever increasing severity in the selection of the papers.
- The time interval from submission of the MS to (first) decision has decreased from 90.9 days in 2006 to 29 days in 2009.
- We receive many more papers from countries of high medical standing (e.g., Scandinavian countries).
- The impact factor (IF), in spite of a dip in 2008 (-4.6% vs. 2007), is better than it ever was before: the latest IF had risen by 18.1% (from 0.824 to 0.973). The Editors are confident that the value of the IF that will be made known in June 2011 will be greater than the psychological barrier of 1.0.
- Manuscript Central has greatly facilitated the processing of manuscripts.
- In 2009, the number of issues has increased from 4 to 6 and the number of pages from 400 to 480.
