The JAAS community: we few, we lucky few, we band of brothers
Resumen: I was going to entitle this Editorial either “Cite me to the end of love” or “Everybody knows the dice are loaded”, in memory of Leonard Cohen, who sadly passed away as I was working on it. 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.
