[AODA members] FYI: Journal's Impact Factor

[Stacia Nordin, RD]

AODA members, I found this interesting and encouraging.  I share all my 
old journals with my local dietetic association so that others who can 
not afford the cost of the journal are able to stay current.  Have you 
started a journal club to discuss issues with your colleagues?  Why not 
start today?  Stacia

*/Journal's Impact Factor Continues to Climb/*

The value and scope of the/ Journal of the American Dietetic 
Association/ continues to grow in academic and research publishing. 

The just-released 2006 ISI Impact Factor for nutrition and dietetics 
places the/ Journal//'//s/ impact factor at 2.564 (up from 2.376 in 
2005). *This continues a 4-year trend of upward ranking, bringing the**/ 
Journal/** f**rom the 21st most often cited in 2002, to the 13th most 
cited today!* The ISI Impact Factor measures the average number of times 
published papers are cited in other papers up to two years after 
publication.

Congratulations to Editor-in-Chief since 2003, Linda Van Horn, and the 
entire Journal Team. Not only does the impact factor showcase the value 
of our members and our journal, but the official ranking of the Journal 
may influence CMS and other payers, as well as other associations. 
Please see the below chart that documents the/ Journal's/ impact factor.
