Premier PublicationFollowing are the guidelines used by crystallographic structural biology at NSLS ... "A publication is considered premier if the journal has an impact factor of 6 or greater (from Journal Citation Report 2003, Thomson Institute for Scientific Information). These journals represent approximately the top 3% of all journals. Two additional journals are included in the NSLS premier list, Applied Physics Letters (impact factor 4.0) and Environmental Sciences and Technology (impact factor 3.6), because these journals represent the "best in class" for the NSLS industrial and environmental science users, even though their impact factors are less than 6." NYBSC modifies this in two waysCurrent journal impact factor. | ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | The current JCR report is used with the 5-year impact factor. | |||||||
| > > | The most recent JCR report is used with the 5-year impact factor. For Journals newer that 5-years, the impact factor is used. | |||||||
Established papers.Papers with more than 6 citations are designated premier publications. In NYSBC web pages, papers are marked premier with a P? indicator | ||||||||
