New! Virtual Issue on Diffusion MRI
Virtual Issues of Magn Reson Med are retrospectively assembled Tables of Contents with links to previously published Magn Reson Med articles. Our latest Virtual Issue on the topic of Diffusion: From Microstructure to Clinical Application. It is available at:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1522-2594/homepage/virtual_issues.htm#DiffusionMRIVI
This Virtual Issue coincides with the ISMRM Workshop on “Breaking the Barriers of Diffusion MRI ” to be held in Lisbon, Portugal from 11–16 September 2016.
This Virtual issue was assembled by Workshop Organizers Mara Cercignani PhD, Brighton & Sussex Medical School Brighton, UK, Maxime Descoteaux PhD, Sherbrooke University Sherbrooke, QC, Canada, Tim Dyrby PhD, Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Denmark, Christopher Hess MD PhD, University of California San Francisco, CA, USA, and Alexander Leemans PhD, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands.
2015 Impact Factor and related bibliometric data released
Journal Citation Reports® recently released its 2015 bibliometric data. Magn Reson Med is included in the category Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging, which contains 124 journals. The values and (rankings, with “1” being the highest) listed on their website for Magn Reson Med are:
Impact Factor = 3.782*…(16/124)
5-year Impact Factor = 3.899…(17/124)
Cited Half-life = >10.0 years*… (tied 1/124)
Total Cites = 28,628*… (5/124)
Immediacy Index…0.847* (17/124)
Current Articles… 438* (7/124)
Article Influence® Score = 1.257*…(17/124)
Eigenfactor® Score = 0.0379… (8/124)
*indicates an all-time, record high in the 32-year history of the journal.
It is very encouraging that all of the metrics are in the top 15% of journals within our category, or better. Impact factor, the most widely-watched metric, increased for the fourth consecutive year, and total citations exceeded 28,000 for the first time ever. All these metrics represent great work by our Authors, Reviewers, Deputy Editors, and Staff!

Now accepting YIA submissions for the 2017 ISMRM Annual Meeting in Honolulu
Our ManuscriptCentral/ScholarOne site is open for manuscript submissions in conjunction with the 2017 I.I. Rabi Award. For more information about the YIA competition, please see: https://www.ismrm.org/YIA/
OnlineOpen 25% Discount for ISMRM Members
Magn Reson Med is very pleased to continue to offer its standard publication option: No page charges, including color pages in print.
Some authors, institutions, or funding agencies however, prefer or require papers to be freely and immediately available for download by anyone, regardless of their subscription status, i.e., Open Access. For those authors, Wiley offers an author-paid publication option called OnlineOpen. This option is only available for accepted papers, so if an author makes this choice it has absolutely no bearing on the peer-review process or any editorial decision.
We are pleased that our publisher is offering ISMRM Members a 25% discount on OnlineOpen fees for their Magn Reson Med papers. The author applying for the discount must be a current ISMRM Member. More information is available by clicking on the OnlineOpen link on the Magn Reson Med homepage.
