(Press-News.org) WASHINGTON—The Endocrine Society’s Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES) received its first Impact Factor score in 2022, while the Society’s other journals maintained high rankings on the prestigious measure of scholarly publishing.
The 2022 Impact Factors were released June 28 by Journal Citation Reports, an annual publication of Clarivate Analytics.
JES, which launched in 2017, is an open access journal providing rapid publication of clinical research, clinical practice information, and basic research in all areas of endocrinology. The publication also features mini-reviews, commentaries, perspectives, and articles on images, databases, and methods.
JES received an Impact Factor of 4.1 and ranked 62 out of more than 180 journals in Clarivate’s “Endocrinology & Metabolism” scientific category.
“We are delighted to see JES join our other publications in gaining recognition on the widely regarded Impact Factor rankings,” said Bruno Ferraz-de-Souza, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of the Endocrine Society’s Publications Core Committee.
“This designation is a true testament to the rigor and commitment of our authors, reviewers, and editors,” he continued. “It also underscores the dedication of our entire editorial team led by Chief Publications Officer Richard O’Grady, Ph.D., along with our excellent past and current Editors-in-Chief. The Society publishes the most innovative and relevant research in our field.”
This year marks some technical changes in how Clarivate calculates its rankings. In general, however, the Impact Factor in 2022 still reflects the number of citations a journal received for its articles published in 2020 and 2021.
The Society’s Endocrine Reviews received a 2022 Impact Factor of 20.3, ranking it fifth among journals in the “Endocrinology & Metabolism” scientific category. The journal publishes bimonthly comprehensive, authoritative, and timely review articles balancing both experimental and clinical endocrinology themes.
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) received an Impact Factor of 5.8. JCEM is the world's leading peer-reviewed journal for endocrine clinical research and clinical practice and continues to be the most cited journal in its Clarivate category.
The Society’s flagship basic science journal, Endocrinology, received an Impact Factor of 4.8. Endocrinology, which was founded more than 100 years ago, provides insights into the physiological and pathophysiological processes relevant to endocrine systems and endocrine-related diseases at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organismal level of hormone function.

Vaginal suppository containing lactobacilli can prevent recurrent cystitis in women
2023-07-03
Recurrent cystitis (RC) is a frequent infection of the urinary tract and bladder, which is highly prevalent among postmenopausal women. Under healthy circumstances, the human vagina is home to a host of beneficial intestinal bacteria, such as Lactobacilli. However, in the case of urinary tract infections (UTIs), there is a decrease in the abundance of Lactobacilli and an increase in pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli).
Previous studies have shown that changes in vaginal microbiota are a key underlying reason for the development of UTIs. Further, a few clinical trials have demonstrated the utility of Lactobacillus-containing vaginal ...
Amazon dolphins at risk from fishing, dams and dredging
2023-07-03
Amazon river dolphins are under threat from fishing and proposed new dams and dredging, research shows.
Scientists used satellite tags to track eight dolphins in the Peruvian Amazon, to discover where they went in relation to fishing areas and proposed dams and dredging sites.
On average, 89% of the dolphins’ home “range” (the area they live in) was used for fishing.
Dolphins were found to be an average of 252km from the nearest proposed dam and 125km from the nearest proposed dredging site.
While these are significant distances, the dolphins’ ranges ...
Fewer teens now perceive themselves as overweight – international study of more than 745,000 adolescents
2023-07-03
A study involving more than 745,000 adolescents from 41 countries across Europe and North America identified an increase in the amount of teenagers who underestimate their body weight.
Tracking data from 2002 to 2018, the peer-reviewed findings, published today in Child and Adolescent Obesity, demonstrate a noticeable decrease in those who overestimate their weight too.
The team of international experts, who carried out the research, warn these shifting trends in body weight perception could reduce the effectiveness of public health interventions aimed at weight reduction in young people.

Why do we articulate more when speaking to babies and puppies?
2023-07-01
Babies and puppies have at least two things in common: aside from being newborns, they promote a positive emotional state in human mothers, leading them to articulate better when they speak. This finding is the result of research by an international team1 that included Alejandrina Cristia, a CNRS Researcher at the Laboratoire de sciences cognitives et psycholinguistique (LSCP) (CNRS/EHESS/ENS-PSL). Scientists studied the vocal behaviour of ten mothers to better understand why mothers articulate more when speaking to infants. Participants were asked to ...
COVID-19 vaccination reduced disease disparities between low- and high-income communities
2023-07-01
COVID-19 vaccination helped reduce disparities in disease incidence between low- and high-income communities, according to a new analysis led by Cedars-Sinai investigators.
While lower-income communities had lower vaccination rates than higher-income communities, the impact of vaccination on disease incidence was larger in lower-income communities. As a result, investigators say, vaccination led to reduced income-related disparities in COVID-19 incidence.
The findings were published today in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“This study is a unique demonstration ...
Immune-boosting therapy helps honey bees resist deadly viruses
2023-07-01
Scientists have successfully tested a novel way of boosting honey bees’ immune systems to help them fend off deadly viruses, which have contributed to the major losses of the critical pollinator globally.
In a new study, the research team, which includes entomologists with the University of Florida, the Agricultural Research Service-USDA, Louisiana State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, showed that prompting honey bees’ cells to produce free radicals helped the bees weather a host of viruses. In fact, the treatment greatly reduced, and in some cases, nearly eliminated virus ...
