    To encourage hard work and dedication "behind the scenes" to improve scientific publications, BJBMS editors select one reviewer each month who has performed best among all reviewers in the current month. The selection is based on the quality, thoroughness, and timeliness of the reviews. This is a difficult task for our editors as they try not to underestimate the time and effort of each reviewer who has reviewed for the BJBMS in the current month.

  • New Journal Impact Factor (2019) for BJBMS

    29-07-2020

    We are proud to announce that the Journal Impact Factor® for BJBMS has increased over the last year. The new BJBMS’s Impact Factor (2019) is 2.05. 

    The increase in impact factor reflects the exacting standards met by the research the journal publishes. The impact factor is determined using the number of citations received in that year by articles published in the journal during the two preceding years, and is calculated by Clarivate Analytics (formerly known as Thomson Reuters), a recognized authority for evaluating the usefulness of a journal.

    The Association of Basic Medical Sciences would like to thank the Editorial Board, authors and all the reviewers for their tremendous hard work and dedication in ensuring that BJBMS continue with influential publications, enabling its community to advance medical research and education for the public benefit. In the upcoming years, we will work even harder to increase our rate of progress.
