Editorial
Please find listed below “The Ten Most Highly Cited Articles” and “The Ten Most Frequently Downloaded Articles” in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (JPharmSci ) in 2013. Note that in tabulating these lists, we considered all papers published in JPharmSci , irrespective of their date of publication (i.e., 1912–2013). The journal’s Editorial Team feels that this information will be of great interest to the authors who publish their manuscripts in JPharmSci as it reflects in “citation metrics” and “usage metrics” the prevailing interests of the journal’s readers and the “long-term” impact of research results published in JPharmSci . In 2012, the impact of JPharmSci , as judged by “citation metrics,” was 3.130 for the 2-year impact factor and 3.385 for the 5-year impact factor. The 5-year impact factor, which is a better reflection of a journal’s “long-term impact” because it averages citation data over the most recent 5 years rather than the most recent 2 years, is very consistent with the “full text downloads” of papers published in JPharmSci from 1912 to 1995 and by the frequency at which older papers in JPharmSci are cited by today’s authors (see below the list of “Ten Most Highly Cited Papers in 2013”). It is equally important to mention that the journal’s impact as judged by “usage metrics” (i.e., article downloads) continued to grow in 2013. For example, in 2013, papers published in JPharmSci from 1996 to 2013 were downloaded 702,566 times from the journal’s website. This represents an 11.1% increase in the number of “full text” downloads as compared with 2012. In 2013, the papers in the “Ten Most Frequently Downloaded Articles” (see below) were downloaded from 1685 to 2939 times. In addition, it is interesting to note that papers published in JPharmSci from 1912 to 1995 were downloaded 89,613 times in 2013 from the journal’s web site. These data clearly illustrate the continued interest of pharmaceutical scientists worldwide in the older (1912–1995) papers as well as the more recent papers (1996–2013) published in JPharmSci .
