Achievement Unlocked: Historic Growth in Impact Factors

June means many things — our annual sales conference, the Special Libraries Association meeting, the end of the school year for some, but the biggest June event here at 140 Huguenot is Impact Factor Day! We were thrilled to receive the 2018 Journal Citation Reports^® as the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers journal portfolio now has the highest average impact factor in the history of the company and nearly 30% of the company’s portfolio of previously indexed journals saw double-digit percentage increases in impact factor.

“We are pleased to see the continued significant impact our journals have in the scientific community,” says Vicki Cohn, Chief Editorial Officer. “It is a tribute to the achievements and contributions of our authors, editors, editorial boards, and reviewers.”

The CRISPR Journal is the only peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the science and applications of gene editing. The Journal provides a high-profile forum for cutting-edge international original research papers, as well as a compelling mixture of frontmatter content—review articles, perspectives, profiles, and commentary spanning not only matters of research but the many social, ethical, and business issues confronting the field. The CRISPR Journal centralizes essential information and analysis on this revolutionary technology in a single location with the aim of solidifying and growing the community of innovative researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and activists who make up the field of gene editing.

The CRISPR Journal is spearheaded by Editor-in-Chief Rodolphe Barrangou, PhD, and aided by a diverse and accomplished editorial board delivering groundbreaking multidisciplinary research, advances, and commentary on CRISPR.

The CRISPR Journal is essential for collections serving geneticists, cancer research, medical geneticists, molecular biologists, virologists, among others.

Get to Know Us!

We are excited to introduce a new feature – a Q&A with a member of the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers team. Our inaugural Q&A is with Patrick Brown, newly appointed North American Sales Manager and an eight-year veteran of the US sales team.

What career path brought you to your current position?

An entry level coordinator position at Nature Publishing Group introduced me to the publishing world, and I’ve never looked back. I worked briefly for Faculty of 1000 before joining the team here at Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 8 years ago.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I love to be outside, whether it’s at the beach, hiking, or just in someone’s backyard. It gets brutally cold here in the Northeast, so once April comes along, I want to avoid the indoors as much as possible.

Favorite conference you’ve attended or like to attend every year?

It’s a tie between MLA and SLA. MLA presents an opportunity to see a lot of familiar faces, while SLA allows me to speak with folks who are in non-traditional libraries. I’m always interested in the wide variety of libraries that are represented at SLA – this year I spoke to a librarian from a company that works with expert witnesses, someone who works in processing oilsands, and a private investigation firm!

What’s a surprising or unexpected thing you have learned selling our journals?

Just how involved Mary Ann Liebert herself has been in the company since day one. At every conference I attend, someone has a story about getting a call, visit, or email directly from THE Mary Ann Liebert herself. That sort of dedication to the company, but also to the scientific community, I think, sets us apart from other publishers.

What is the best live event — music, theater, sports — you have attended?

I’m a big soccer fan, and while in Atlanta for MLA last year I was able to see the NY Red Bulls play Atlanta FC. Seeing 60,000 fans in the United States at a domestic soccer game was something I’ll remember for a long time! (NY won too, which is always nice).
