Impact Factor

AACR journals continue to be rated among the most influential in cancer research. In the most recent Journal Citation Reports (2008), all AACR journals ranked in the top 25% of oncology journals with regard to Impact Factor. Cancer Research and Clinical Cancer Research both ranked within the top 11% of the Oncology category. [Cancer Prevention Research will receive an Impact Factor ranking in June 2010.]

Nearly 20% of all citations to oncology journals in 2008 were made to AACR journals, led by Cancer Research, which continues to be the most-cited cancer journal in the world.

   ^aCEBP is also ranked in the Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health
category in JCR.

Five-Year Impact Factor

The standard Impact Factor measures citations to journal articles published within a two-year period. The five-year Impact Factor evaluates citations to journal articles published within a five-year period to provide a measure of a journal's enduring influence. AACR journals maintain their relevance to the field over the long term, ranking in the top 20% among oncology journals with respect to five-year Impact Factor. Cancer Research and Clinical Cancer Research ranked in the top 6% and 9% of the Oncology category, respectively.

   ^aCEBP is also ranked in the Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health
category in JCR.

Eigenfactor

The Eigenfactor uses methods from network theory to rank the influence of journals much as Google's PageRank algorithm ranks the influence of web pages, by identifying journals as influential if they are cited often by other influential journals.

Four AACR journals are among the top 20 oncology journals as ranked by Eigenfactor-- including Cancer Research, which holds the highest Eigenfactor ranking among all oncology journals.

   ^aCEBP is also ranked in the Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health
category in JCR.
