The European Respiratory Review: continuing the success and targeting new challenges

摘要

The European Respiratory Review (ERR) is now over 20?years old, and during those years it has become a source of current and relevant information in our discipline. The overall number of visits to the ERR website and the number of downloaded review articles is constantly increasing, not only in Europe but all over the world, with more than 800?000 visits and 2.75 million HTML/PDF downloads in 2018. The ERR is already included in many international indexes and databases, and an important landmark was achieved in November 2018 when the ERR was accepted for indexing by Clarivate Analytics in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), meaning that it will receive its first Impact Factor in the summer of 2019. Articles from 2016 onwards will now be included in the SCIE, as well as the Journal Citation Reports and Current Contents.
