2008 Impact Factor
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 2008 Impact Factor:
When the 2008 Impact Factors were announced by Thomson Reuters, we were very surprised to see the Impact Factor for AP&T had dropped from the 2007 figure of 3.201 to 1.215.
Thomson Reuters has agreed that a mistake was made in their calculation, and the revised correct AP&T Impact Factor for 2008 is 3.71.
AP&T Total Citations in 2008: 11,304 [ranking it 14 in Gastroenterology & Hepatology]
Journal 2-y Impact Factor: (1087+1744)/(335+428) = 3.710 [ranking it 14 in Gastroenterology & Hepatology]
5-year IF = (1087+1744+1440+1572+1448)/(335+428+360+413+372) = 3.821 [ranking it 11 in Gastroenterology & Hepatology].
Immediacy Index: 253/268 = 0.944 [ranking it 9 in Gastroenterology & Hepatology]
