Impact factor of IEEE Trans. UFFC has risen from 1.512 to 2.287

The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) published by Thomson Reuters for 2015 show that the IEEE Trans UFFC Impact Factor (IF) has reached its highest value ever. It is up by 50% from 1.512 to 2.287. The journal is now firmly in the top quartile for Engineering, Electrical & Electronic as well as for Acoustics. This compares very strongly with IFs for journals in related fields:

• JASA, 1.572
• Journal of Applied Physics, 2.101
• Ultrasonics, 1.954
• Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2.298

The IF is a bibliometric indicator designed to reflect the quality of the articles, and the significant increase shows that IEEE Transactions on UFFC papers are being cited more than ever before! Congratulations to Steve Freear, Editor-in-Chief, and his staff!!!
