Two Indian journals cross impact factor 1.00 in 2004
Among the 47 Indian journals covered in the Journal Citation Reports 2004,
two journals, namely Journal of Biosciences and Journal of Genetics have
impact factor (IF)of 1.102 and 1.100 respectively (Table 1)1. Current
Science with impact factor 0.688 ranks third among Indian journals,
followed by National Medical Journal of India (0.626) and Indian Journal of
Medical Research (0.600). This is indeed an encouraging trend, as for the
first time two Indian journals have crossed IF of 1.000. One hopes that
more Indian journals will cross this magic figure of 1.000 in future. A
total of 5968 journals have been covered in the JCR 2004, with Annual
Review of Immunology having the highest IF of 52.431.
