Top monthly research journal in two categories
Newswise — Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) has increased its impact factor to 6.19, as reported by the Journal Citation Reports® Science Edition, making it the top monthly journal of original research both in environmental sciences and in public, environmental, and occupational health.
“Our mission at EHP is to publish the best peer-reviewed research in environmental health and to continually raise the bar for high-quality science,” said Editor-in-Chief Hugh Tilson. “The steady increase in our impact factor over the past several years demonstrates that the scientific community agrees with what we’re doing.”
The 2009 impact factor reflects the average number of times EHP articles published in 2007 and 2008 were cited in the scientific literature in 2009. The impact factor helps measure how widely a journal is used compared with other journals in the same field.
EHP is published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. EHP is an open-access journal, and all EHP content is available free online at http://www.ehponline.org/. Brogan & Partners Convergence Marketing handles marketing and public relations for the publication and is responsible for creation and distribution of this press release.
