Thomson/ISI has released its 2006 Science Edition of the Journal Citation Reports, which gives journal impact factors and rankings of 6,034 science journals. The 2006 impact factors of the journals of the APS, along with a comparison of the past several years, are given in the table below. The table also shows the rank of APS journals in the physiology category, and each journal’s rank in its related field, as well as each journal’s cited half-life.
