As you can guess, my original focus was going to be on metrics and citations. However, I realized while writing it, that there are aspects much more important for us, all people related to JAAS, than those numbers. Thus, I will not discuss them (too much). Of course we are happy to see that, after 31 years of life, JAAS is a mature journal, with an evolving but clear scope1 and it is still firmly positioned in the Q1 section of both Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy categories in the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports®, despite the constant evolution of the field, and the appearance of many competing journals. It is interesting to notice that the first journals in the spectroscopy area are all review journals, who have obvious advantages in terms of impact factor, while the top journals in the analytical chemistry category tend to be occupied by journals with a broader scope that publish many articles per year. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.608 2017 SPECTROSCOPY 4 / 42 = 0.095 2017 Q1 T1 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 13 / 80 = 0.162 2017 Q1 T1 1.066 2017 Spectroscopy 2017 Q1 Analytical Chemistry 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 2009 750 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
