Abstract
The Journal's reputation continues to grow, and the number and quality of the submissions to the Journal increased during the past year. The Journal's impact factor this year is 2.641, which is the second highest impact factor reported for the journal since it received its first data in 1997. We realize that this indication of the Journal's increasing quality over these years was made possible only by the enthusiastic support of our readers, authors, and reviewers. We thank you all.
The Journal published two special issues during 2009: The February issue, “The Neurobiology of Pediatric Mood Disorders: Part II,” co-edited by Jean A. Frazier, M.D. and Jair C. Soares, M.D., and the October issue, “Targeted Combined Psychopharmacotherapy,” edited by Timothy E. Wilens, M.D. We thank the guest editors for their hard work in bringing our readers informative and exciting new information. In 2010, we can look forward to another special issue, “Obsessive-Compulsive and Tourette's Disorders: The State-of-the-Art,” which will be co-edited by Barbara J. Coffey, M.D., M.S. and Judith L. Rapoport, M.D.
We acknowledge gratefully the work of our Senior Associate and Associate Editors, the Editorial Board and individuals on our review panels. The reviewers for papers over the chronological year October 2008 through September 2009 are listed below. Their expertise, careful critiques, and perceptive comments and suggestions to the authors have continued to result in improvements in the quality of the papers published in the Journal. In addition, their efforts to review rapidly and thus decrease the time interval between the initial submission of a paper and its publication are bringing new research and clinical findings to our readership more quickly. Their efforts are truly appreciated.
Also our special thanks to the dedicated staff at Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. and Bernadine Richey, our production editor. As always we thank Vicki Cohn, Senior Vice President and Managing Editor and, of course, Mary Ann Liebert herself for their unstinting support.
With all best wishes for a peaceful, prosperous and happy New Year.
