(Charlottesville, VA) August 3, 2017 – The recent release of the 2016 Journal Citation Reports featured impressive rankings by numerous Silverchair-hosted journals. The results of this key industry assessment reflect our mission to collaborate with our publishers to propel their content to greater reach and impact.

Some highlights from that report:

• JAMA journals continue to be among the highest ranking in their respective fields
• Oxford University Press now publishes 249 titles receiving an Impact Factor, with 170 journals receiving an increase in their Impact Factor
• Translational Vision Science and Technology (TVST), published by The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), has earned its first Impact Factor rating, of 2.221, placing it favorably among established journals in the ophthalmological field. 
• The Geological Society of America’s Geology has been #1 in the Web of Science's "geology" category for eleven years in a row. Its impact factor and 5-year impact factor both increased this year, with the 5-year IF crossing the 5.0 threshold for the first time.
• Annals of Internal Medicine, published by the American College of Physicians, is one of the most widely cited and influential specialty medical journals in the world. 

As crucial as the Impact Factor continues to be, other metrics—as well as more qualitative measurements—are gaining steam in assessing quality, reach, and value. For example, The Silverchair Platform delivered 17 of the Altmetric top 100 articles of 2016, and 4 of the top 8. This includes the #1 article, the first scholarly article authored by a sitting U. S. President and the highest scoring article ever. We host content in over 60 major disciplines, and in a variety of formats (books, journals, proceedings, and more). And so we are pleased to offer the following additional highlights from our platform’s esteemed content.

• The SCORE resident training system is used by 98% of U. S. surgery residency programs.
• GeoScienceWorld’s Society Services program includes the Geological Society of America’s Geology and the Society of Economic Geologists’ Economic Geology (the top two most visited journals on GSW’s platform). 
• Launching on the Silverchair Platform in November 2017, Duke University Press hosts 50 journals, offers five digital collections, and has well over 2,000 scholarly books. 
• McGraw-Hill Medical encompasses a family of more than 20 sites covering a range of medical specialties, pharmacy, and physical therapy. 

As the leading independent platform provider to the scholarly and professional communities, we are proud to host the high-quality content (in all its myriad forms) of these and other influential publishers.
