OSA Remains
Top
Publisher of Peer-Reviewed Optics and Photonics Content
OSA is pleased to announce its 14 flagship,
partnered,
and co-published peer-reviewed journals continue to provide the most
citations
and articles in the field of optics and photonics, according to the
recently
released Thomson Reuters 2009 Journal Citation Reports® (JCR).
Combined,
OSA’s journals make up nearly 40% of the total citations received in
2009
and 35% of all articles published in the JCR’s optics category —
both
more than any other publisher in this category. Of the 70 journals
listed
in the optics category, eight OSA published or co-published journals
appear
within the top 25 journals based on impact factor. View JCR data for
all OSA
publications.
http://www.osa.org/Publications/ISI_Rankings.aspx
OSA
RANKED HIGH BY
5-YEAR EIGENFACTOR ™ METRIC
The JCR now includes an Eigenfactor™ score for
each
journal. OSA’s Optics Express, Optics Letters and Applied Optics are
among the top four journals in the optics category based on
Eigenfactor. The
Eigenfactor calculates the number of times articles from the journal
published
in the past five years has been cited in the JCR year while considering
which
journals have contributed to these citations by eliminating
self-citations in
the scoring. This relatively new Eigenfactor score is a good indicator
of a
journal’s influence and OSA is proud of our scores in this category. http://admin-apps.isiknowledge.com/JCR/help/h_eigenfact.htm
These rankings validate the standard of
excellence set by
OSA’s journals, and we look forward to working with you in the new
subscription year to ensure that you are offering the excellent content
in the
broad field of optics and photonics to your patrons.
As always, if you have any questions about your
subscription
options, please contact us at elec@osa.org
or

News from MIT Press
Journals
2011 Pricing
Available
2011 Pricing from MIT Press Journals is now
available, with an average
price increase of 2.5% from 2010. In this difficult economic climate,
with
budget cuts deeply affecting libraries, The MIT Press realizes the
importance
of keeping journals affordable and strives to keep pricing as low as
possible.
While the slight pricing increase is necessary to cover current
operating
costs, the Press continues to work towards keeping prices low, with the
goal of
disseminating its materials as widely as possible. Please follow the
link to
find a full listing of 2011 Prices from MIT Press Journals: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/userimages/ContentEditor/1277324163002/pricelist.pdf
QJE and JEEA to Depart
Two economic journals from the MIT Press
collection will depart in
2011: The Quarterly Journal of
Economics
will move to Oxford University Press, and Journal
of the European Economic Association will move to
Wiley-Blackwell.
While the loss of these publications is not without impact, the MIT
Press
Journals Economics publishing program remains highly robust, with
strong
offerings in economics such as The
Review of
Economics and Statistics, as well as Asian Economic Papers. The MIT
Press has valued the
opportunity to publish both QJE and JEEA during their tenure at the
Press. For
information on 2011 renewals please contact the respective new
publishers for
each journal.
World
Policy
Journal will also be leaving the MIT Press for a
yet to
be determined publisher in 2011.
Journal
of
Cognitive Neuroscience moving to Online-Only in
2011
Journal of Cognitive
Neuroscience,
the leading publication in the mind sciences, will become online-only
with
Volume 23, starting in January 2011. Each issue will be published
exclusively
in PDF, PDF Plus, and full-text HTML formats. JOCN will continue to
feature the
same, fully illustrated color format and offer access to the entire
online
archive with a current subscription. While print issues of the journal
will no
longer be published after January, individual print back issues will
still be
available for purchase from The MIT Press. JOCN will of course continue
to publish
interdisciplinary work of the highest standards covering all aspects of
neuroscience and brain-behavior interaction, in a highly-accessible
online
format.
CISnet: A New Resource
from the MIT
Press
The MIT Press recently introduced a new
online resource: CISnet, which
brings together many of the MIT Press's recent and classic titles in
computer
and information science into a fully searchable online library located
at http://cisnet.mit.edu.
Subscribers have access to over 200 MIT Press books on topics including
programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human computer
interaction, databases, digital libraries, networking, and robotics.
Recently
added titles include HCI
Remixed
(edited by Thomas Erickson and David W. McDonald), Using OpenMP (Barbara Chapman,
Gabriele Jost, and Ruud van
der Pas), Virtual Music (David
Cope),
and Group Cognition (Gerry
Stahl).
Books can be viewed page-by-page and are fully searchable. CISnet is
the Press’s second collection of e-books in a single subject area,
coming
ten years after the groundbreaking MIT CogNet, a collection of
full-text
journal content, reference works and books in the cognitive and brain
sciences.
6. IET Journals go from strength to strength - with increased impact factors
IET Journals go from strength to strength –
with
increased impact factors
The IET is delighted to announce that every title
in the
suite of 20 IET Research Journals received fantastic impact factor news
– with
one journal receiving an increase of 227%. The newest title in the
portfolio
(launched too recently to receive an impact factor) also received great
news –
IET Power Electronics (www.ietdl.org/IET-PEL)
has
been successful in its application for inclusion in the Web of
Science
and as such will receive its first impact factor in 2011.
All research journals published by the IET are
indexed in
the prestigious Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science – the
world’s
leading
citation index with multidisciplinary content from nearly 12,000 of the
top
tier international and regional journals. Of the 2,500 journals
submitted for
consideration in this database annually, only 10-12% are selected for
inclusion.
Each journal in the Web of Science
receives an
“impact factor” score each year in June – when Thomson
Reuters publish
their Journal
Citation Report. The impact factor is a measure of the number of
citations
within scientific journals. It is used to gauge the relative importance
of a
scientific journal within its field.
Daniel Smith, Head of Academic Publishing, at the
IET said:
“This is gratifying news. Not only have we succeeded in increasing the
impact
factors of all previously included titles across the portfolio, but
also our
two most recently launched titles have also been accepted for
inclusion.
Despite the continuing rapid expansion of journals publishing the
market is
increasingly focussed on quality, and I think we can confidently say
this result
is a validation of the excellence of IET Journals’
content.”
A full list of the impact factor scores released
in June
2010 is available at: www.theiet.org/publishing/journals/recent/
For more information on each journal and its
impact factor visit
the IET Digital Library at www.ietdl.org.
