MycoKeys with an all-time highest Impact Factor
In June, MycoKeys received its all-time best Journal Impact Factor in the Journal Citation Reports™ by Clarivate. A few weeks earlier, it also received its record-high Scopus CiteScore.
The 2022 Impact Factor for MycoKeys is 3.3, while its latest Scopus CiteScore stands at 5.8.
The journal also moves up to Q2 in the Web of Science category: Mycology, where it ranks 12th.
On Scopus, it remains in Q1 in all three categories it is listed in: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (18th/147); Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics (108th/687); and Plant Science (75th/487).
"The journal is now well-established as a go-to for publications in the field of evolutionary biology, biodiversity research, and systematics in all groups of the kingdom Fungi, including symbiotic fungi, such as lichens,"
said Dr. Thorsten Lumbsch, Editor-in-Chief at MycoKeys; Vice President, Science and Education at the Field Museum (Illinois, USA), and Curator, Lichenized Fungi.
In the case of the 2022 Journal Impact Factor, the score reflects the times 2022 publications indexed by WoS have cited research and review articles from MycoKeys published in 2020 and 2021.
In its turn, the CiteScore formula calculates the citations of eligible “citable” publications (i.e. reviews, research articles, data papers, book chapters and conference papers) indexed in the Scopus database in the last four complete years, and divides them by the publication volume of the journal in the same years. In the case of the 2022 Scopus CiteScore, both cited and citing papers need to have been published between 2019-2022.
