Dear Reader
Welcome to the final issue of Drugs for 2022. This is a time to reflect on this year’s achievements, and to acknowledge and thank everyone who has contributed to ensure the continued high quality of the journal. I particularly want to acknowledge the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all healthcare professionals.
The quality of content published in Drugs has been reflected in the most recent Impact Factor of 11.431 and CiteScore™ of 16.3, placing the journal 13th in the Pharmacy and Pharmacology, and 4th in the Pharmacology (Medicine) categories, respectively. Further, Drugs has continued to publish content in a timely manner, with a median time from submission to first decision of 8 days.
I would like to begin by thanking the authors of articles published in Drugs over the course of 2022. The skill and dedication of these experts is critical to the continued success of the journal.

I am also extremely grateful to the members of the journal’s Honorary Editorial Board, who have acted as peer reviewers and authors, and have provided guidance on journal content. This year, we said to farewell some long-standing members, Professors Paul Abrams, Luisa de Angelis, Christine Katlama, Wasaburo Koizumi, Hartmut Lode, Francesco Montorsi and Geoffrey Playford, and thank them for their outstanding contributions to the journal. We were also very fortunate to welcome several new members to the board this year, and thank them for their willingness to contribute to the success of the journal: Sabina Antoniu, Vera Bril, Christoph Correll, Lucia del Vecchio, Roy Fleischmann, Peter Goadsby, Johnny Mahlangu, Bradley McGregor, Ole Haagen Nielsen, Michael Nurmohamed, Kimberly Scarsi, Einar Sigurdsson, Elizabeth Smyth, Yu Sunakawa and Konrad Talbot.
The editorial program for 2023 is well under way, and we are looking forward to continuing to bring you many high-quality and authoritative articles in the field of clinical drug treatment over the coming year.
On behalf of all the Section Editors and staff, thank you so much for your continued support.
Best wishes
