Thorax impact factor at 7.069
We are delighted to let you all know that the latest Thorax impact factor released for 2008 has risen to the highest ever at 7.069. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations during 2008 to papers published in 2006 and 2007 by the number of papers published in 2006 and 2007. The rise in impact factor was achieved following a significant rise in citations in 2008 and shows that Thorax has published the highest quality papers in the field. We are grateful to all our authors for sending us your very best papers and please continue to send them so that our impact factor can rise even further.
