Dear Reader,
As we approach the end of 2015, and publish our final issue of Sports Medicine for the year, the editors and production staff at Adis wish to reflect on another successful year’s achievements and pay thanks to all those who have contributed their time and effort to guarantee the exceptional quality of our content.
We are delighted to have seen the conclusion of formalities surrounding the joint venture of Springer Science + Business Media with Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillan, Macmillan Education in early May. Substantial ground has already been made in the integration of business within the resulting Springer Nature company and we at Adis look eagerly toward the future, as the benefits of the collective expertise and capabilities of this company carry us forward.
We were pleased that Sports Medicine regained its #1 ISI impact factor ranking in the sports and exercise science field this year. Furthermore, the majority of our journals saw a rise in ISI impact factor over the previous year. Most notably, BioDrugs increased by 41 % to 2.989; the European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics increased 19 % to 1.563; CNS Drugs increased by 17 % to 5.113; Targeted Oncology increased 16 % to 4.000; Pediatric Drugs increased 15 % to 1.975; Drugs & Aging increased 13 % to 2.838; and Molecular Diagnosis & Therapy increased a further 12 % to 2.891, having already jumped 53 % in the preceding year. We hope to build upon these gains in 2016.
The Adis Book programme has grown substantially and 20 new titles will have been published over the course of the year. Over 50 further titles are currently in development with leading academics around the world, and we continue to add more to the list. Our thanks again to all who have submitted these valuable proposals to date.
We also offer our sincere thanks to all authors who have contributed articles to Sports Medicine over the course of 2015. Their skill and dedication are critical to the continued publication of the journal. The world-class quality of published articles is, similarly, testament to the significant efforts of the peer reviewers, whose commitment ensures that our content is held to the highest standard. In addition to the members of our Honorary Editorial Board, we would like to thank the following individuals who acted as reviewers for articles published in Sports Medicine in 2015:
