 ANC: Neuroscience of Disease

1st impact factor for Acta Neuropathologica Communications

We are truly delighted to announce that Acta Neuropathologica Communications (ANC) has received its first impact factor, an impressive 5.414! This is accompanied by other impressive journal metrics for 2017, including a total of 313,191 downloads and a competitive cite score of 4.85, placing it in the top quartile of neuroscience journals.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank all the colleagues who helped making this success possible: our Associate Editors, who always handle manuscripts fast and efficiently; our reviewers, who provide thoughtful criticism in a timely manner; the team at BMC, who are responsible for the smooth publishing process; our readers, who apparently deem ANC papers to be of high enough quality to be cited; and last, but most certainly not least, our authors, who have chosen to submit their excellent articles to ANC.

We are certain that the continuing commitment of all those colleagues who have shaped ANC in the past will ensure its success for years to come!

Johannes

"Acta Neuropathologica Communications is a journal for researchers working on human neurological disease and has a focus on neuropathology. However, since we believe that an interdisciplinary approach is highly valuable to advance the field, our journal is not restricted to classical neuropathological articles. Therefore, we also welcome high-quality submissions from other disciplines as long as they do ultimately aim to advance our understanding of human neurological disease. We try our best to help you with the submission process and in case of any questions do not hesitate to contact the Editors-in-Chief directly."

Johannes Attems, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC
