PLoS Biology Receives Its First Impact Factor
PLoS Biology’s first impact factor of 13.9 from ISI establishes it among the most highly cited journals in the life sciences. An impact factor of 13.9 places PLoS Biology above such established journals as EMBO Journal, Current Biology, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In ISI’s category of general biology journals, PLoS Biology is ranked first. PLoS Biology was launched in October 2003 as an open access home to the very best in biological research.
