In 2008, Analyst enjoyed an increase in impact factor to 3.553, an 11% rise from its previous value, which continues its impressive rise of recent years.
Even more exciting is that, with an immediacy index of 1.032,†Analyst is number one for immediacy in the ISI® general analytical chemistry journal category! A journal's immediacy index is a measure of how topical and urgent the papers are and by choosing Analyst as an author, you are more likely to draw citations early, thus seeing an earlier increase in your personal citation rating.
RSC Publishing is committed to providing a world-class publishing service and global visibility to its authors. With the number of citations increasing, immediacy and impact factors rising, it is clear to see that Analyst and RSC Publishing are recognised by researchers throughout the world as a key resource for publishing and reading the very best research. We would like to thank our authors, referees and readers for their part in helping us to achieve this success.
