MMWR Series: 2023 Journal Impact Factors
June 28, 2024
Journal Impact Factors
CDC’s MMWR Series received its 2023 Journal Impact Factors for the MMWR Surveillance Summaries and MMWR Weekly. These are based on the average number of citations in the scientific literature in 2023 of reports published in 2021 and 2022.
In the subject category of “Public, Environmental, & Occupational Health” (403 journals):
Surveillance Summaries: Ranked 1st
Weekly: Ranked 2nd
These impressive rankings are due to Journal Impact Factors of 37.3 (Surveillance Summaries) and 25.4 (Weekly). MMWR Recommendations and Reports is still being evaluated. Journal Impact Factors and rankings will be posted in the Journal Citation Reports in the fall.
These metrics demonstrate the impact of MMWR and underscore its importance in sharing timely, accurate science to inform policy and guide practice.
Many thanks to our authors for their contributions to the scientific literature, and to our readers for your interest.
