The Milbank Quarterly‘s Impact Factors Score Goes Up Again—to 5.391

The 2013 Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) recently adjusted The Milbank Quarterly’s 2013 Impact Factor score—and The Milbank Quarterly now has an impact factor of 5.391. In August, the Quarterly’s impact factor had gone up to 5.061.

The ISI impact factor is the gold standard for measuring the impact of scholarly work. It calculates the number of citations a journal receives in a given year to research and review articles published in the previous two years. The Quarterly remains 1st out of 70 journals in the Health Policy & Services category, a ranking it has proudly held since 2009, and 3rd out of 85 journals in the Health Care Sciences & Services category. The Quarterly’s five-year Impact Factor is 6.513, based on articles published in the last five years and cited in 2013.
