New Impact Factor (2021) for BJBMS is 3.759

New Impact Factor (2021)

BJBMS’s Editorial team proudly announces that the Journal Impact Factor for BJBMS has again risen by more than 11% over the last year. The latest BJBMS’s Impact Factor (2021) is 3.759.

The increase in impact factor reflects the exacting standards met by the research the journal publishes. The impact factor is determined using the number of citations received in that year by articles published in the journal during the two preceding years and is calculated by Clarivate Analytics (formerly known as Thomson Reuters), a recognized authority for evaluating the usefulness of a journal.

BJBMS has joined the Q2 club! According to the Journal Citation Report published annually by Clarivate, BJBMS qualifies for Q2 based on the JCI. The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is the average Category Normalized Citation Impact of articles published by a journal over a recent three-year period.

BJBMS’ CiteScore increased by 30%! CiteScore value is based on the number of citations to articles published by a journal over four years, divided by the number of the articles published in those same four years – and is another metric of journal quality.

The Association of Basic Medical Sciences would like to wholeheartedly thank the Editorial Board, authors, and all the reviewers for their ongoing support, tremendous hard work, and dedication. Their contribution ensures that BJBMS continues to receive high-quality research material, enabling its community to advance medical research and education for the public benefit. BJBMS team will work hard in the future to become even better and to continue this rate of success.
