(Press-News.org) Rockville, MD – The latest journal impact factors and rankings reflect the high-quality research that is published each year by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN).
Scopus recently ranked Advances in Nutrition the number one journal in the Nutrition and Dietetics field. The Society’s newest journal, Current Developments in Nutrition, surpassed expectations with an excellent inaugural impact factor of 4.8 confirming its promising future.
“I am delighted to receive such a superb first impact factor,” stated Jack Odle, PhD, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University and Editor-in-Chief of Current Developments in Nutrition. “I am especially proud of the American Society for Nutrition which supported the bold and risky decision to launch Current Developments in Nutrition. Everyone, including readers, authors, reviewers, editors, and journal staff share in this success, and collectively I ask you to join me in celebrating the advancement in nutrition scholarship embodied in our journal’s success.”
Both the Clarivate Impact Factors and Scopus CiteScores are widely regarded as the benchmark for assessing the impact and influence of scholarly journals worldwide.
Since 1928, ASN’s journals have been a resource and home for scientists doing work in the ever-expanding, interdisciplinary field of nutrition science. The portfolio is renowned for publishing articles of highest relevance and impact in both open access and hybrid formats.
ASN’s journals feature no-cost publishing options for its hybrid journals, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and The Journal of Nutrition, and prominent open access opportunities in all four journals allowing readers to have free, immediate access to content.
Authors recently surveyed expressed high levels of satisfaction with the quality of peer review received from all four ASN journals and valued the subsequent improvements to their manuscripts.
“The Society remains committed to providing the highest quality platform for scholarly discourse in the interdisciplinary field of nutrition,” stated Martha A. Belury, PhD, RD, President, American Society for Nutrition. “We thank our editorial boards, as well as our authors and reviewers, for their commitment to rigor and their dedication to advancing the science and practice of nutrition.”
Current Developments in Nutrition’s First Impact Factor

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Current Developments in Nutrition authors recently surveyed rated the overall time from submission to publication as faster than other journals within the field. It also exceeded one million article downloads in 2022, demonstrating strong demand from readers. Access the journal at CDN.nutrition.org and follow on Twitter @jnutritionorg#CurrDevNutr.
Advances in Nutrition
Currently in its 14th year, Advances in Nutrition, ASN’s reviews journals, has had a quick ascent to the top of journal rankings. In addition to its 1st place ranking by Scopus, the Clarivate 2023 Journal Citation Reports placed it as third out of eighty-eight journals. Advances recently became a gold open access journal in response to author and funder demand. Access the journal at Advances.nutrition.org and follow on Twitter @jnutritionorg#AdvNutr.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN)
Scopus ranked The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in the 95th percentile of Nutrition & Dietetics. Clarivate placed its impact factor at 7.1, ninth in a field of eighty-eight, with 60,841 total citations. AJCN is the top ranked journal for new research in the field of clinical nutrition. Access the journal at AJCN.nutrition.org and follow on Twitter @AJCNutrition#AJCN.
The Journal of Nutrition (JN)
The Journal of Nutrition ranks 4th in the field of Nutrition & Dietetics by total citations and received an impact factor of 4.2. Author satisfaction has been steadily increasing since 2018. The latest survey of JN authors found that 100% of responding authors reported to be satisfied with their author experience and likely to submit again.

New single-photon Raman lidar can monitor for underwater oil leaks
2023-06-29
WASHINGTON — Researchers report a new single-photon Raman lidar system that operates underwater and can remotely distinguish various substances. They also show that the new system can detect the thickness of the oil underwater up to 12 m away, which could be useful for detecting oil spills.
“Differentiating substances in water and detecting their distribution characteristics in the ocean are of great significance for marine monitoring and scientific research,” said research team leader Mingjia Shangguan from Xiamen University in China. “For instance, the remote sensing of underwater oil that we ...
Faster, safer target prep
2023-06-29
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed a method to simplify one step of radioisotope production — and it’s faster and safer.
ORNL produces several radionuclides from irradiated radium-226 targets, including actinium-227 and thorium-228, both used in cancer treatments. Continuously improving isotopes for human health is one of the lab’s missions.
Currently, it takes workers two weeks to prepare radium-226 targets for irradiation in the High Flux Isotope Reactor. The targets are exposed to radiation throughout the process, which involves pressing radium carbonate aluminum composite into 10 pellets — one each day — and sealing ...
Health care utilization following interventions to improve social well-being
2023-06-29
About The Study: This systematic review and meta-analysis including 41 studies and 7,800 participants found that psychosocial interventions were associated with decreased health care use in most health services and increased use of outpatient care. The greatest health care decrease was among caregivers and individuals with mental illnesses and in interventions delivered 1-on-1 by health professionals.
Authors: Neta HaGani, M.S.W., of the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia, is the corresponding author.

Transferring data with many colors of light simultaneously
2023-06-29
New York, NY—June 29, 2023—The data centers and high-performance computers that run artificial intelligence programs, such as large language models, aren’t limited by the sheer computational power of their individual nodes. It’s another problem — the amount of data they can transfer among the nodes — that underlies the “bandwidth bottleneck” that currently limits the performance and scaling of these systems.
The nodes in these systems can be separated by more than one kilometer. Since metal wires dissipate electrical signals as heat when transferring data at high speeds, these systems transfer data via fiber-optic ...
An early predictor of cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease
2023-06-29
Have you ever felt the strong sensation that someone is behind you, so intense that you turn around, only to see that no-one is there? This is a 'presence hallucination’. Presence hallucinations are particularly frequent but underreported in patients with Parkinson’s disease and may appear early on in the course of the disease. They are sometimes ignored by the patient, by clinicians, or brushed off as a simple side-effect of medication.
Now, EPFL scientists have found that patients recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and who have early hallucinations are ...
Cracking the tubulin code
2023-06-29
Tubulin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of cells. It is the main component of microtubules, which are long, hollow fibers that provide structural support, help the cell divide, give it its shape, and act as tracks for moving molecular cargo around inside the cell.
There are two types of tubulin: alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin. Together, they form dimeric (two-part) building blocks, spontaneously assembling into microtubules that undergo further continuous cycles of assembly and disassembly.
The tubulin code
To fine-tune microtubules, the dimers undergo various post-translational modifications (PTMs), which are chemical modifications that occur ...

New AI tool beats standard approaches for detecting heart attacks
2023-06-29
A new machine learning model uses electrocardiogram (ECG) readings to diagnose and classify heart attacks faster and more accurately than current approaches, according to a study led by University of Pittsburgh researchers that published today in Nature Medicine.
“When a patient comes into the hospital with chest pain, the first question we ask is whether the patient is having a heart attack or not. It seems like that should be straightforward, but when it’s not clear from the ECG, it can take ...
