Comparative StudyImpact factors in urology. How well do our journals stack up against other medical and surgical journals?
The purpose of our analysis was to assess the performance of urological journals in terms of the standardized measures created by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) Journal Citation Report (JCR) in comparison to other medical and surgical fields. Additionally, an evaluation of all original articles, clinical or experimental, published in the year 2005, assessing the time interval needed from submission to publication, submission to acceptance, and acceptance to publication of a manuscript was conducted for all urologic journals. ⋯ The impact factor is a measure of the importance of scientific journals. Urological journals stack up quite well against other medical and especially surgical journals.
