The newClinical Kidney Journal, 4 years later

Abstract

The February 2015 issue of ckj started a new era with renewed efforts to be useful to the training and practicing nephrologists and a new focus on Clinical and Translational Nephrology. Four years later, it has become a truly global journal with contributors and readers from all over the world. The increase in quality of the published material has resulted in a nearly exponential growth of citations. Since 2016, ckj is listed in the new Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) database from Clarivate Analytics and from January 2019 it will be listed in the full Science Citation Index. ckj will therefore receive its first official impact factor based upon 2018 citation to 2016 and 2017 articles. While no official impact factor was awarded for 2017, the estimated impact factors calculated from data available in Clarivate’s Web of Science database rose to 2.987 in 2017, which would correspond to an estimated journal impact factor percentile of 72.4% in the Urology and Nephrology field.

Estimación del impacto científico de Archivos de Neurociencias 2001–2016: retos y oportunidades

“…De los tres indicadores mencionados, el FI constituye el "estándar de oro" para evaluar el impacto científico. Por tal motivo, el objetivo del presente estudio consiste en calcular un FI estimado (FIE) para Arch Neurocien a partir de la metodología desarrollada por Clarivate Analytics (7) , como se ha realizado en estudios previos (10,11) , bajo la hipótesis de que dicho valor se encontraría entre 0.000 y 0.899, correspondiente al grupo II de la Clasificación Cualitativa de Revistas Periódicas y Libros (CCRCPL) (12) de la Comisión Coordinadora de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud y Hospitales de Alta Especialidad (CCINSHAE), como ocurre con la mayoría de las revistas científicas Latinoamericanas.…”

“…A su vez, se revisó cada cita para verificar si la revista que la generó se encontraba indizada en el JCR en el año correspondiente, por lo que se eliminaron aquellas citas que no cumplieron con este criterio. Las citas fueron contabilizadas para calcular el FIE como en estudios previos (10,11) , de acuerdo con la siguiente fórmula (3,7) :…”

Farewell from the CKJ Editor-in-Chief: key kidney topics from 2014 to 2021

“…In 2012, NDT Plus evolved into the Clinical Kidney Journal ( CKJ ), under the leadership of Alain Meyrier. From 2014 onward, Alberto Ortiz has been the Editor-in-Chief (EiC), a term that will end in May 2022 when Maria José Soler will become the first female CKJ EiC [ 1 , 2 ]. As the last full year as EiC ends, it is worth reflecting on the path so far and on the most impactful topics published in CKJ .…”

Ckj consolidation among Q1 Urology and Nephrology journals

“…Eighteen months ago, Clinical Kidney Journal ( ckj ) had not yet received an official impact factor; however, it could be estimated from data available at Clarivate’s Web of Science database that the estimated journal impact factor percentile in the Urology and Nephrology field in 2017 would have been just under 75%, an increase from an estimated value below the 10th percentile in 2013 [ 1 ]. As of July 2020, ckj has already received two official impact factor values from Clarivate’s Web of Science: 2.975 in 2018 and 3.388 in 2019, both of them placing ckj in the first quartile (Q1), that is, in the top 25% of journals in the Urology and Nephrology field, for 2 years in a row.…”
