The Journal has now settled into its second year of monthly publication. The increase in the
number of issues together with the online only publications has led to a major increase
in the number of articles published from 91 in 2011 to 178 in 2012. This increased
the denominator for calculating the impact factor so the 2013 Impact Factor fell to
4.781 from 5.302 in 2012 (Figure 1). JAMDA had the second highest impact factor of all the clinical geriatric journals and the
highest immediacy index (Table 1). Table 2 lists the articles cited 50 or more times since 2011 published in the clinical geriatric
journals.
