Towards a higher impact factor for the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association

摘要

The Journal of the Chinese Medical Association (JCMA)has been included in the Science Citation Index Expanded(SCIE) since 2008. More than 8,000 scientific journals areregistered in the SCIE, and the JCMA is one of the fewjournals in Taiwan to have achieved this goal.1 Now, afterserving for 9 years as the Journal’s editor-in-Chief, I am happyto announce that it has a new impact factor of 0.678, and isranked at 62% (94/151) in the SCIE category “Medicine,General and Internal”. This achievement is not only excitingfor myself, but also reflects the commitment and dedication ofour editorial team to the community of biomedical science.
