New! 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.

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.
