We are proud to announce that the 2016 Journal Impact Factor* (JIF) for BJR has increased to 2.050. This represents a remarkable 68% increase in the JIF in the last four years and shows the major changes implemented by the BIR publications department in recent years are resulting in a stronger and higher quality journal.

BJR has attracted a number of high-quality papers from key opinion leaders, including our popular themed issues.

“This rise in impact factor further cements the fact that BJR is essential reading for all radiologists, oncologists, medical physicists and all those with a interest in radiation sciences”, says Head of Publishing, Sophia Anderton.

The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the ‘average article’ in a journal has been cited in a particular year.
